Which is NOT a component or a process associated with innate immunity?
A

B
Inflammation.
C
Antibody production.
D
Mucous membranes.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of innate immunity: Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and is non-specific, meaning it does not target specific pathogens. It includes physical barriers, chemical barriers, and cellular responses.
Identify the components of innate immunity: The skin and mucous membranes are physical barriers that prevent the entry of pathogens. Inflammation is a process that occurs when tissues are injured, helping to isolate and eliminate pathogens.
Recognize the role of antibody production: Antibody production is part of adaptive immunity, not innate immunity. Adaptive immunity is specific and involves the production of antibodies by B cells to target specific antigens.
Differentiate between innate and adaptive immunity: Innate immunity provides immediate defense and does not involve memory, while adaptive immunity develops over time and includes memory cells that provide long-lasting protection.
Conclude which option is not associated with innate immunity: Since antibody production is part of adaptive immunity, it is not a component or process associated with innate immunity.
