Innate Immunity

Innate Immunity

Innate Immunity is the body’s first line of defense against infections and harmful substances. It provides immediate, non-specific protection and is present from birth. Innate immunity includes physical barriers such as the skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells like macrophages, neutrophils, and natural killer cells that quickly respond to invading pathogens. It also involves chemical defenses, including enzymes, antimicrobial peptides, and inflammatory responses that help destroy microbes and prevent their spread. Unlike adaptive immunity, innate immunity does not develop memory and responds in the same way to repeated exposures. However, it plays a critical role in activating the adaptive immune system by presenting antigens to specialized immune cells. A well-functioning innate immune system is essential for early infection control, wound healing, and maintaining overall immune balance and health.
