What fights bacteria viruses and other foreign substance in the body?
The skin is your body's first defense in fighting infections and foreign substances. Your digestive system is your next defense.
What do ringworm's do to you inside your body?
Ring worm is a fungal infection of the skin. The fungi produces hyphae which invade the dead cells in your skin. However, the enzymes they produce irritate the living cells, which mount a defense. This causes the itchy, sore red areas.
What Cells make up the convoluted tubules?
All biological tubules [internal linings - convoluted or straight] are made from the same Epithelial Cells that also comprise Our Integument - or Skin.
By producing hormone like substances that influence the development of certain white blood cells the skin plays a role in?
a line of immune defense
Which of these is one of the body's first lines of defense against infection?
Your white blood cells take action but are not strong enough so the virus goes to your T-cells and then you get infected. SKIN!
List two lines of nonspecific defense with examples of each?
External defenses - Includes skin and mucous membranes. Internal defenses - Includes phagocytic cells, inflammatory responses, and antimicrobial proteins.
List two lines of nonspecific defense mechanisms with examples of each?
First of all, you might want to spell DEFENSE correctly.
What is contained in the epidermis?
The epidermis in humans contains cells (melanocytes) that make melanin, which gives skin its colour, Langerhans' cells which are the front line of defense of the immune system in the skin, and normal cells which make up your skin.
How does skin combat diseases?
skin is the body's first defense when it comes to bacteria. skin prevents direct contact of the body's internal systems with viruses and bacteria, therefore preventing disease.
Which of these is one of the bodys first lines of defence against infections?
its killer T cells

Is the stratum spinosum the first line of defense?
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.

What type of cell are skin cells?
The cells on the outside (epidermis) are called keratinocytes (provide physical barrier) and melanocytes (provide colour and sun protection). These are both epithelial cells. The cells on the inside (dermis) are mainly dermal fibroblasts (also called mesenchyme), but there are a dozen or so others such as endothelial cells (blood vessels), smooth muscle cells (arterioles), Langerhans cells (defense/immune cells), sweat glands (epithelial cells), sebaceous glands (epithelial cells), Merkel cells (touch receptors), mast cells (defense/immune cells), lymphocytes (defense/immune cells) and neurons (nerve cells). Several other types of receptors such as stretch, temperature and pressure sensors, elements of the nervous system, are also present in skin.
