The specific targeted response against an infection can be described as:
i. Adaptive immunity
ii. Innate immunity
iii. Acquired immunity
iv. The third line of defence
v. The second line of defence
The specific targeted response against an infection can be described as:
i. Adaptive immunity
ii. Innate immunity
iii. Acquired immunity
iv. The third line of defence
v. The second line of defence
The correct option is C i, iii, iv
Human bodies have two types of immunity, one which is present in the organism by birth, called as innate immunity, whereas one which is developed in organisms with the due course of life span is called acquired immunity.
It is also called adaptive immunity as the body adapts immune response specific to the pathogen presented. Being a target specific immune response, acquired immunity is also called the third line of defence which comes into play when the invading pathogen escapes from all types of defence barriers like physical barrier, physiological barriers etc.
The immune system exhibited by an individual by birth is called innate immunity. The first line of defence includes the physical and physiological barriers. The second line of defence is a non-specific immune response shown by the body in which phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues.
