Adaptive Immune System: Tailored Defense with Memory for Long-Term Immunity
The adaptive immune system is highly specialized and tailored to recognize specific pathogens. Unlike the innate immune system, which responds immediately but generally to threats, the adaptive system remembers past invaders and prepares the body for stronger and quicker responses to future attacks. It involves specialized cells like T-cells and B-cells. B-cells produce antibodies that target specific pathogens, while T-cells destroy infected cells and help coordinate the immune response. This system's ability to adapt and remember makes it crucial for long-term immunity.
