Answer:

  1. Innate immune system
  2. Acquired immune system

Explanation:

The innate immune system is a defense system with which we are all born and which protects us at all times against all antigens, prevents harmful external bodies from entering our body.

The acquired immune system is the second line of defense and develops by exposing itself to various antigens, building a defense against it when the innate system cannot fight the invader.

Answer:

Part A. The Innate immune system

Part B. The adaptive (or active) immune system

Explanation:

The immune system refers to the organs, tissues cells and proteins which work together to protect the body from harmful invaders that cause disease such as micro-organisms like viruses, bacteria, etc.

Organs and tissues that form part of the immune system include the thymus and bone marrow, lymph nodes and vessels, spleen, and skin.

The main immune cells are the white blood cells, also called leukocytes. Some types of white blood cells, called phagocytes engulf invading organisms. Others called lymphocytes  help the body remember the invaders and destroy them.  The two kinds of lymphocytes are B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, whose name depend on where they mature. Lymphocytes start their life in the bone marrow and either stay there and mature into B cells, or go to the thymus gland to mature into T cells.

 

The immune system consists of two main parts or system.

  • Innate immunity: This refers to the immunity one is born with. Innate (or natural) immunity, provides a general type of protection. For example, the skin acts as a barrier to block germs from entering the body.  
  • Adaptive (or active) immunity: This refers to the immunity one develops throughout their lives. It is developed when one is exposed to diseases or when one is immunized against them with vaccines.
