Detailed explanation-1: -The innate immune system includes physical and anatomical barriers as well as effector cells, antimicrobial peptides, soluble mediators, and cell receptors (Table 1). Skin and mucosa provide an effective immune barrier between the internal and external environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against germs entering the body. It responds in the same way to all germs and foreign substances, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the “nonspecific” immune system.
Detailed explanation-3: -DAMPs AND PAMPs TRIGGER THE INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE DAMPs are endogenous molecules normally found in cells that get released during necrosis and contribute to sterile inflammation.
