An advantage of innate immunity is ITS BARRIERS THAT PREVENT PATHOGENS FROM ENTERING INTO THE BODY.
The innate immune system is a sub-component of the humans' immune system; it is made up of cells and mechanisms that prevent the body from been invaded by infectious agents. The innate immune system is the first line of defense of the body when a pathogen try to infect the body, the system is normally activated by the presence of pathogens or their secretions.
