- Nonspecific like the skin, mucous membranes, tears, mucus and the inflammatory response... are designed with and acidic surface that, for the most part, repels bacteria and are attributable to factors other than specific antibodies.his is considered a non-specific response because the response is not different for different pathogens. 2) The second line includes the inflammatory response, natural killer cells, macrophages, and fever.

Immune system The immune system is a system of many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, known as pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism's own healthy tissue.isorders of the immune system can result in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases and cancer. Immunodeficiency occurs when the immune system is less active than normal, resulting in recurring and life-threatening infections.

What are three specific examples of non-specific immunity? INNATE (NON-SPECIFIC) IMMUNITY. The elements of the innate (non-specific) immune system (Table 2) include anatomical barriers, secretory molecules and cellular components. Among the mechanical anatomical barriers are the skin and internal epithelial layers, the movement of the intestines and the oscillation of broncho-pulmonary cilia.

nonspecific non·spe·cif·ic. adj. 1. Of or relating to an infection not known to be caused by a specific pathogen: nonspecific urethritis. 2. Of or relating to immunity that occurs naturally as a result of a person's genetic makeup or physiology and does not arise from a previous infection or vaccination.

Immune System Research Immune Tolerance. Tolerance is the prevention of an immune response against a particular antigen. For instance, the immune system is generally tolerant of self-antigens, so it does not usually attack the body's own cells, tissues, and organs. However, when tolerance is lost, disorders like autoimmune disease or food allergy may occur.

Specific vs. Non-Specific Immunity There are two main parts to your immune system: the non-specific and specific immune systems. Let's talk about the non-specific immune system first. Non-Specific Immunity. Your defense system starts with non-specific immunity, also known as innate immunity. This system is comprised of general mechanisms your body deploys every day to keep you safe.

What is non specific immune response? This is considered a non-specific response because the response is not different for different pathogens. 2) The second line includes the inflammatory response, natural killer cells, macrophages, and fever.his response will attack anything (specific immune response will only attack certain infections) that it comes in contact with. Parts of nonspecific immune response are: Skin, Mucous membranes, Phagocytic (cells that eat foreign particles) cells, Antimicrobial proteins, and the inflammatory response.

Human Physiology/The Immune System This part of the immune system directly targets invading microbes. Our specific immune defenses respond to antigens. An antigen is a protein (or polysaccharide) molecule, typically on the cell membrane, that the body recognizes as nonself. They are found on microbes, foreign cells, or on cancer cells.

Innate immune system The innate immune system, also known as the nonspecific immune system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms that defend the host from infection by other organisms.he cells of the innate system recognize and respond to pathogens in a generic way, but, unlike the adaptive immune system (which is found only in vertebrates), it does not confer long-lasting or protective immunity to the host.

Nonspecific Defense Whether the mechanism is as complex as fever and inflammation or as simple as physical barriers and phagocytosis, all nonspecific defenses provide the body with general protection against foreign invaders. SEE ALSO Antibody; Blood; Endocytosis; Immune Response.pecific immune responses can distinguish among different invaders. The response is different for each invader. With nonspecific defenses, the protection is always the same, no matter what the invader may be. Whereas only vertebrates have specific immune responses, all animals have some type of nonspecific defense.

The Human Immune System and Infectious Disease Non-Specific (Innate) Immunity. The human immune system has two levels of immunity: specific and non-specific immunity. Through non-specific immunity, also called innate immunity, the human body protects itself against foreign material that is perceived to be harmful.wo types of white blood cells called lymphocytes are vital to the specific immune response. Lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow, and mature into one of several subtypes. The two most common are T cells and B cells. An antigen is a foreign material that triggers a response from T and B cells.

- The immune system can distinguish between normal, healthy cells and unhealthy cells by recognizing a variety of danger cues called danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Cells may be unhealthy because of infection or because of cellular damage caused by non-infectious agents like sunburn or cancer.

The Immune System Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information! The immune system is the body's defense against disease. It defends the body from attack by foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, as well as cancerous cells. Normally, the immune system can distinguish between what belongs in your body (self) and what doesn't (non-self).

- Antigens are chemicals on the surface of a cell. All cells have these. The immune system checks cells and identifies them as self or non-self. Antibodies are proteins produced by certain lymphocytes in response to a specific antigen.B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes produce the antibodies.elper T cells activate B cells that produce antibodies. Supressor T cells slow down and stop the immune response of B and T cells, serving as an off switch for the immune system. Cytotoxic (or killer) T cells destroy body cells infected with a virus or bacteria.

immune The definition of immune is you are resistant to or unaffected by something harmful, especially a bacteria or disease. 1  A person who has been promised he will not be prosecuted for a crime is an example of someone who is immune to prosecution.

How to Freeze Strawberries CHOPPED: (This is the way we freeze most of our strawberries). Rinse and cap the berries. You may crush, chop or slice the berries. Crush: Place whole berries in a casserole dish and use anything with a flat surface to crush the berries. (We use glasses or glass jars). Then place in freezer bags.
