The immune system and the lymphatic system work together to protect the body from pathogens. The immune system recognizes and targets pathogens, while the lymphatic system helps circulate immune cells and remove pathogens from the body. Additionally, the skin and mucous membranes act as physical barriers to prevent pathogens from entering the body.
The pores on your skin help to prevent harmful pathogens from entering. Pathogens cause disease, infection and Cancer. By keeping these pathogens out, this is how pores protect you.
Immune system,
the body protect itself when such an accident happen by it's recovering materials that can protect it from any accident .
they attack it
Resident normal flora compete with pathogens for nutrients and space, thereby preventing pathogens from colonizing and causing infections. Additionally, normal flora can produce substances that inhibit the growth of pathogens or modulate the immune response to promote defense against invading pathogenic organisms.
They don't defend pathogens. They defend *against*pathogens. They poison them, they burn them with ozone / hydrogen peroxide / sodium hypochlorite / chorine dioxide, and then they eat them whole if necessary.
Your body is really a possible large dinner table for pathogens that are found everywhere. You need as many defenses as you have to fend them off.
Viral infections and cancerous cells
Serves as a physical barrier to keep pathogens out.
The ability of the body to protects itself from its environment is called homeostasis.
No, most pathogens do not pass through mucous membranes easily. Mucous membranes act as a barrier to protect the body from pathogens by trapping them and preventing them from entering the body. However, some pathogens have evolved mechanisms to breach this barrier and cause infections.
