Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The immune system responds to antigens by producing cells that directly attack the pathogen, or by producing special proteins called antibodies. Antibodies attach to an antigen and attract cells that will engulf and destroy the pathogen. The main cells of the immune system are lymphocytes known as B cells and T cells.

The non specific response is geared to protect the body initially in a non specific way.
One example is the release of histimine that creates an inflammatory response and another is the leukocytes that rush to the injured area.
