How does Wax Secretion stop pathogens from entering the body?
the diesease microbes stick to it before it enters the body!
What does the skin do to avoid a bacterial infection?
The skin is only a defense to stop bacteria from entering the body.
What is the first organ to stop bacteria from entering body?
I'd assume your skin
If the white blood cells are not able to stop invading pathogens?
the skin keeps out most pathogens
Most pathogens are prevented from entering the body by what?
The SkinThe skin is the main barrier against pathogens. It is covered by the hard protein keratin, and so pathgens can only enter by a break in this layer, for example a wound. At wounds, blood clots to prevent too many pathogens entering the body. There are also billions of bacteria crawling over our skin called Skin Flora, and these are harmless. They out-compete any other bacteria attempting to colonise the skin, so that they do not grow on us.MucusOur noses, mouths and eyes are all natural breaks in the skin, so it is logical that these are the best entry points for any pathogens. Our airways and guts are moist, and so provide ideal breeding grounds for pathogens. However, mucus is secreted by the cells lining the airway, and pathogens get stuck in this mucus. Tiny hair-like protrusions called cilia move the mucus up to the throat, where it can be swallowed. The tears in our eyes produce an enzyme called lysozyme, which breaks down most bacterial cell walls, killing the bacteria. Secretions in the mouth and nose also contain lysozyme.Digestive SystemsOur stomach contains concentrated Hydrochloric Acid lower than pH 2 (which is extremely acidic and is why vomit burns the throat). Most bacteria cannot survive these conditions and so are digested into simple sugars and proteins. In the guts are more bacteria like on the skin, and these are called Gut Flora. These also out-compete bacteria so they do not colonise our guts. The gut flora are harmless, and some even aid digestion or produce chemicals such as lactic acid, which help us defend against other pathogens.
Defense of the body against a particular bacterium or virus is provided by?
The body relies firstly on non-discriminatory barriers, such as the skin, to stop pathogens and all other particles from entering the body as a first line of defence.
What is a secondary circulation system that helps the body fight pathogens?
The white blood cells fight the bacteria then the platelets stack up and make a scab to stop further infection and to stop the blood leaking.
What is the best way of stopping pathogens from entering your body or spreading to others?
Intact skin is our bodies' largest organ and our most important defense against pathogens. Pathogens cannot directly pass through skin, thus severely restricting the ways that pathogen can enter the body to the facial features, excretory system and open wounds. Therefore, the best method to stopping pathogens from entering the body is to prevent exposure of the possible entrances to pathogens. For the facial features, the easiest method is to keep your hands clean (since they are the most likely body part to come in contact with your eyes, mouth, and nose). For the excretory system (anus, vagina, penis), keep those areas clean. For open wounds, sanitize and cover. The spreading of pathogens to others follow the same concept. They only have a finite amount of exits. As long as others do not come in contact with your bodily fluids, the likelihood of transfer is very low.
If white blood cells are not able to stop invading pathogens what happens next?
the disease invades them and our body
What parts of the bodys stop microbes entering the body?
White blood cells
What does the body do to stop bacteria from entering it?
One way the body keeps microbes from entering the body is by the skin, the skin is considered a barrier. That is why when a person gets an injury that breaks the skin the first layer of defence is considered broken. Also the hair and mucous mucus in a persons nose prevent microbes from entering by trapping them . ^ Thats all a lie. This is not a lie at all. It is a very truthful and precise answer, I should know; I am a doctor!!
