Question

The cell responsible for non-specific immunity in the body is

• A. B cell
• B. Fibrinogen
• C. Pathogen
• D. Phagocyte
• E. T cell

Answer 1

The correct option is D Phagocyte

Innate, or nonspecific, immunity is the defense system that comes into play immediately or within hours of an antigen's appearance in the body. It is the immunity that presents in the body by birth and hence called an inborn immunity.These mechanisms include physical barriers such as skin, chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attack foreign cells in the body. Innate immunity is furnished by relatively nonspecific mechanisms, such as the rapid inflammation experienced shortly after injury or infection. Phagocytosis antibody reaction is an example of non-specific immunity in the body.
