Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense against pathogens, providing a rapid and non-specific response to infections. This form of immunity is present from birth and includes physical barriers, like skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells that recognize and attack foreign invaders. Unlike adaptive immunity, which develops over time and targets specific pathogens, innate immunity acts immediately and involves various cells and proteins that work together to prevent infections.
