Q: What is the specific defense of
the immune system?
A: The specific defense is made
up of specific chemical and specialized cellular reactions to
specific pathogens. Because of their specificity,
the specific defense mechanisms require a slower process of first
identifying the pathogen and then reacting
to it. The major parts of the specific defense are antigen-presenting
cells, B-cells, T-cells,
and antibodies.
