AB The  innate  immune  system  is  composed  of  physical  barriers,  cells,  and  circulating  factors  that  are  always  active  and  ready  to  repel  microbes.  They  form  a  boundary  between  you  and  the  viruses,  bacteria,  and  fungi  that  live  on  and  inside  you.  Innate  immune  cells  also  clean  up  debris  and  dying  cells.  Advantages  of  the  innate  immune  system  are  that  it  responds  rapidly  and  targets  molecular  patterns  widely  shared  among  microbes.
