Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The blood cells that are associated with the innate defense and their function.

Introduction:

Innate immunity provides the first line of defense in response to non-self pathogens. This type of defense mechanism functions as soon as the foreign body invades the organism. It is present since birth. It does not work specifically to get rid of a particular foreign particle. It constantly operates within the body, starting from the onset of the incubation period until the infection subsides.
