Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of specific defense. These include cell-mediated immunity and antibody-mediated immunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inflammation is the immune system’s response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, toxic compounds, or irradiation [1], and acts by removing injurious stimuli and initiating the healing process [2]. Inflammation is therefore a defense mechanism that is vital to health [3].
Detailed explanation-3: -These include dermcidin, cathelicidin, defensins, histatins, and bacteriocins. Plasma contains various proteins that serve as chemical mediators, including acute-phase proteins, complement proteins, and cytokines.
Detailed explanation-4: -Inflammation is a type of immune response which is produced by certain types of immune cells (such as macrophages and helper T cells), where signaling molecules such as cytokines are produced. It is a specific type of immune response. Hence, option (D) is correct.
