Cover "pathogens" and "foreign, infectious microbes"

Cover "Innate" and "Adaptive"
Also cover parts of some of the words in the explanations.

Another way to use Anki:
Copy this passage:

When training loads are high and prolonged, there tends to be a decrease in innate and adaptive immune function.

Add a new deck and chose "Cloze" instead of "image occlusion"

Select the bold words and press the plus button on the top line:

Once it looks like this, press add and your cards are made!
