A) Discuss innate immunity
B) Discuss ONE SPECIFIC autoimmune disease

Non-specific immunity: 1st & 2nd line of defense. Specific
immunity: 3rd line of defense.
While chopping an onion, you inadvertently cut your finger and a
pathogen enters the cut. Recalling what you learned about

What are two types of acquired immunity? Describe each and give
an example.
Explain the process from the activation of the B cell to the
production of antibodies.

Briefly describe how innate and adaptive immunity differ.
Be specific with regards to the types cells involved in
each, time of activation, duration of cellular response how it is
similar or different between individuals.
