Why is the action of phagocytes considered a nonspecific response?

-It does not occur at any specific temperature.
-It is not involved with the production of any specific type of lymphocyte.
-It does not respond to any specific type of hormone.
-It is not a response to a specific type of pathogen.

Answer 1

It is not a response to a specific type of pathogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phagocytes get activated when the foreign agent (pathogen) enters the body and thus enzymes present in the cell destroy and kill the pathogen. Hence, this mechanism is followed by the phagocytic cell for all types of foreign agents. So it is considered to be a part of a non-specific system.
