The Innate immune system is the body's first barrier of defence to infection. It relies on an older, more generic, and faster acting set of tools than the [[Adaptive Immune System - WikiBlood|adaptive]] system. While the adaptive system is essential for a specific response to infection, it is ultimately the innate system that conquers foreign attackers through means of phagocytosis. | The Innate immune system is the body's first barrier of defence to infection.

Innate Immune System
Both the innate and adaptive immune systems use receptors to recognise foreign organisms. The innate immune system uses pattern recognition receptors which acts as an early warning system. The adaptive immune response is highly specific for each organism, as B and T cells have specialist surface immunoglobulin receptors which detect specific antigens on foreign pathogens.
