The way in which inherited and acquired immunities differ is in the way the immune system responds to infection. With inherited immunity, the body does not create antibodies that are particular to a specific pathogen unlike acquired immunity.

The innate system is a first line response after an infection happens. The adaptive system is when an immune cell (likely macrophages) show the pathogen to a lymph node and from there B cells make antibodies specifically for that pathogen.

The innate system is non specific, but acquired is specific.

The innate system involves B-cells, neutrophills, and macrophages, while the adaptive system involves T-cells , and MHC molecules.

Innate immunity is defense mechanisms that appear immediately or within hours of exposure to an antigen. Acquired immunity is immunity that has been introduced into the body by way of previous infection or immunizations.

Innate immunity is inborn so it always present and available. The innate defense system responds rapidly and is activated immediately after an infection or an injury. This defense system has no memory and involves the use of surface barriers and internal defenses.

Adaptive immunity is acquired. It has a slower response than innate immunity. This defense system has memory. It is cell-mediated and antibody-mediated.
