Results. A ferritin blood test checks the amount of ferritin in the blood. Ferritin is a protein in the body that binds to iron; most of the iron stored in the body is bound to ferritin.The amount of ferritin found in the blood is the same amount that is in the body. ferritin blood test checks the amount of ferritin in the blood.

Nonspecific immune response is the first and second line of defense when a foreign object tries to enter or enter the body. This response will attack anything (specific immune response will only attack certain infections) that it comes in contact with. Parts of nonspecific immune response are: Skin, Mucous membranes, Phagocytic (cells that eat foreign particles) cells, Antimicrobial proteins, and the inflammatory response.
Whether the mechanism is as complex as fever and inflammation or as simple as physical barriers and phagocytosis, all nonspecific defenses provide the body with general protection against foreign invaders. SEE ALSO Antibody; Blood; Endocytosis; Immune Response.pecific immune responses can distinguish among different invaders. The response is different for each invader. With nonspecific defenses, the protection is always the same, no matter what the invader may be. Whereas only vertebrates have specific immune responses, all animals have some type of nonspecific defense.
