- In this state to inhibit spread of invader through out the body.

∙ 14y agoIf a pathogen is able to get past the body's first line of defense, and an infection starts, the body can rely on it's second line of defense. This will result in what is called an inflammatory response. This is a reaction that causes redness, heat, swelling, and pain in the area of infection. Redness and heat are due to cappilary dilation resulting in increased blood flow. Sweeling is caused by the passage of plasma from the blood stream and into the damaged tissue. The pain is mainly due to the tissue destruction, and to a lesser extent, the swelling.
And that is what it iz.

What level of prevention is a vaccine?
there are actually three categories of defenses in the body, namely: first line of defense, second line of defense and the third line of defense.first line of defense is our skin. the vaccine you're talking about falls under the second line of defense because it involves the immune system wherein these vaccines were introduced into the body,nonetheless, the cells on our body creates/secretes chemicals that serve as defense mechanism; and the third line of defense is the use of medications or chemicals prescribed by the doctors.

when the first and the second lines of defense have already been overcome.
