Detailed explanation-1: -Humans have three types of immunity-innate, adaptive, and passive: Innate immunity: Everyone is born with innate (or natural) immunity, a type of general protection.
Detailed explanation-2: -The immune response is how your body recognizes and defends itself against bacteria, viruses, and substances that appear foreign and harmful.
Detailed explanation-3: -The innate immune response is a rapid reaction. Innate immune cells recognize certain molecules found on many pathogens. These cells also react to signaling molecules released by the body in response to infection. Through these actions, innate immune cells quickly begin fighting an infection.
Detailed explanation-4: -A brain is not involved in elicitation of immune response but regulates the function of the whole body.
