Adaptive immune enhances innate immunity.They are components of an integrated system of host defense system.Innate immunity also called natural or native immunity: cellular and biochemical defense mechanisms that are in place before infection and respond rapidly to infections.Components:physical and cheical barriers:skin, mucosal epithelia,antimicrobial chemicalsblood proteins: complementcells: phagocytesadaptive immunity stimulated by exposure to infectious agents and increase in magnitude and defensive capabilities with each successive exposure to a particular antigens.features Specificity and Memory :mount heightened response to persist infection of the same antigen.A substantial specific response takes TIME & ENERGY.Diversity: Respond in distinct and special ways to different micobes which enables the host to quot;
