A

-its divided into 2 :

Q

Comparison of innate and adaptive immunity

A

1-Adaptive immunity:
1.1 A lag period
1.2 antigen specific
1.3 development of memory

-2 innate immunity:
2.1 no time lag
2.2 not specific
2.3 no memory development

Q

Function of the immune system

A

1- to protect from pathogens by :
1.1 intracellular mechanism: for viruses, bacteria, parasites
1.2 Extracellular mechanism: most for bacteria, fungi, parasites
2- to eliminate modified or altered Self

Q

Effect of Immune system

A

1- Beneficial:
1.1 protection from invaders
1.2 Elimination of altered Self

2-Detrimental:
2.1 discomfort and collateral damage ( inflammation)
2.2 damage of self : hypersensitive reaction
