The body's three lines of defense against a pathogen (germ) are:
1. Anatomical and physiological barriers-Includes skin, hair, mucous membranes, saliva, tears, stomach acid, pH, temperature.
2. Non-specific response-Includes phagocytosis of pathogen, inflammation of tissues, vasodilation (increased blood flow to area), and swelling.
3. Specific response-antibody production and cell mediated immunity to particular pathogen. Maintained indefinitely.

Your skin is the first line of defense.

gloves are the first line of defense during a plebotomy procedure. They protect against spills and splashing of contaminated blood.
The Body's first line defense acts as physical barriers, in which it functions by trapping the pathogens and blocking them from entering the body. Also, all first line defenses act the same way to all pathogens, in which they're called non-specific defense.
It is the first line of defense against pathogens.
No, the stratum corneum is the first line of defense in the skin against pathogens. It consists of a layer of dead keratinized cells that provide waterproofing and protect underlying layers of skin.
The integumentary system (skin) and mucous membranes are the first line of defense. They provide a physical barrier against invasion of pathogens. Any break in this physical barrier, such as a cut, makes it easier for pathogens to enter your body.
Your skin is the first line of defense.

True
The integumentary system is one of the first lines of defense against infection. It provides a physical and chemical barrier against the entry of pathogens.
