Detailed explanation-1: -The role of the nonspecific (innate) immune response is the immediate response to infections. The body’s first line of defense against pathogen entry includes skin, cerumen (earwax), tears, mucus, saliva, stomach acid, and expulsive reflexes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical Barriers Sweat, mucus, tears, saliva, and breastmilk all contain antimicrobial substances (such as the enzyme lysozyme) that kill pathogens, especially bacteria. Sebaceous glands in the dermis of the skin secrete acids that form a very fine, slightly acidic film on the surface of the skin.
Detailed explanation-3: -The innate immune system The non-specific response is a generalized response to pathogen infections involving the use of several white blood cells and plasma proteins. Non-specific immunity, or innate immunity, is the immune system with which you were born, made up of phagocytes and barriers.
