Explore the innate immune system, our body's first line of defense against pathogens like viruses and bacteria. It includes barriers like skin, immune cells with pattern recognition receptors, and the complement system. This system is essential for rapid response to infections, inflammation, and initiating tissue repair processes. Understanding its mechanisms helps us appreciate how our bodies fight off diseases and maintain health.
