What else can I help you with?
What in tears act as a chemical barrier and destroy pathogens on the surface of the eye?
You have the enzyme called as lysozyme. It is the enzyme that act as a bacteriostatic substance. It adversely affect the bacteria on the surface of the eye.
Is tears a chemical barrier against pathogens?
yes, tears prevent pathogens from entering the eye. when an irritation occurs the eye produces a salty liquid (tears) to clean the eye from any dust or pathogens. eyelashes also prevent pathogens and dust from entering. In terms of a chemical barrier, your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme which can disrupt the cell walls of gram-positive bacteria by digesting the peptidoglycan in them. This enzyme is also found in your saliva.
What accessory structure of the eye is thin and covers the eye for protection?
The accessory structure of the eye that is thin and covers the eye for protection is the conjunctiva. This transparent membrane lines the eyelids and covers the white part of the eyeball, helping to keep the eye moist and protected from debris and pathogens. It plays a critical role in maintaining eye health and providing a barrier against infection.
What tissue forms protective layer of eye?
Fibrous tissue, vascular tissue, and retina
Why does blinking and crying provide protection against pathogens?
Blinking and crying serve as protective mechanisms against pathogens by helping to keep the eyes moist and clear of irritants, dust, and microorganisms. Blinking spreads tears that contain antimicrobial proteins, which help neutralize potential pathogens. Additionally, crying can flush out harmful substances and pathogens from the surface of the eyes, providing an extra layer of defense against infections. Together, these actions maintain ocular health and reduce the risk of eye-related illnesses.

Can most pathogens be seen only with a microscope?
Yes. The word "pathogen" explicitly refers to a microorganism, virus, or bacteria.
What are pathogens symptoms?

What is the difference between germs and pathogens?

Do pathogens out number non pathogens?
yes
What tissue forms protective layer of eye?
Fibrous tissue, vascular tissue, and retina
Disease-causing organisms are known as?
