Question
Chapter 15, Problem 8bCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The graphical representation of primary and secondary immune response and their characteristics.
Introduction:
The body is protected from disease causing organisms or molecules by the immune system of the body. The immune system provides two types of immunity, firstly, the innate immunity which is already present since birth and is non-specific type providing the first line defense mechanism. The second one is adaptive immunity that is built through the exposure of foreign bodies and it is antigen specific. The latter acts as a second line of defense.

Students have asked these similar questions
contrast the difference between the adaptive and innate immune system. What cells are involved, which one is most specific and which one is responsible for long lasting immunity. Try to include as much detail as possible when contrasting these two arms of the immune system. Your initial post must be at least 150 words.

Requirements
Your initial post must be at least 150 words.
The adaptive specific immune response is more complex than the innate response. Discuss ways in which the adaptive immune response is characterized.
