Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Innate immune responses are always present in the body and provide immediate protection against various microbes. They are not specific to a particular pathogen and do not require prior exposure to the microbe. On the other hand, acquired immune responses develop after exposure to a microbe and are highly specific to that pathogen. Adaptive immune responses are a type of acquired immune response that can provide long-term immunity. Intuitive and inductive are not terms used to describe immune responses.
