Complex signaling molecules called cytokines are released by immune cells in response to infection. These cytokines can activate various immune responses, including inflammation and the recruitment of other immune cells to the site of infection. The innate immune system is the first line of defense against pathogens and is composed of physical barriers, such as the skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells like phagocytes and natural killer cells. These cells can recognize and eliminate pathogens through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that detect specific molecules on the surface of pathogens. The complement system is another important component of the innate immune system, which can directly degrade pathogens and enhance the immune response.
