Innate immunity consists of non-specific defense mechanisms. These mechanisms are inherently built into the human body and are generally effective against a wide range of disease-causing organisms.

The human body also produces secretions like stomach acids, tears these are the physiological barriers which have antibacterial properties against the microbes.
