Non-specific defence can be further categorised into external (preventive) or internal (defensive). Physical barriers such as skin‚ mucous membranes and hair contribute to the body’s non-specific defence against disease. Commensal organisms on skin are also a physical barrier. Chemical secretions such as lysosyme in tears‚ sebum on skin and stomach acid are also part of non-specific

Specific immunity has to do with how our lymphocytes (specialized white blood cells) can remember a specific virus or bacteria‚ and the next time it shows up. There are two types of specific immune system responses: cellular and humoral immune responses. T cells destroy body cells that are infected with pathogens.
