These defenses are described as nonspecific because they do not target any specific pathogen; rather, they defend against a wide range of potential pathogens.
The innate immune system provides this kind of nonspecific protection through a number of defense mechanisms, which include physical barriers such as the skin, chemical barriers such as antimicrobial proteins that harm or destroy invaders, and cells that attack foreign cells and body cells harbouring infectious agents.
