What stops microorganisms from entering the body?
In the human body, the primary line of defence is the skin. The skin stops most of the microbes from entering the interiors of the body. If however, the pathogen is able to gain access into the body, the lymphatic system comes into play. The pathogen is eliminated before it begins to cause any more trouble.
Is earwax part of the immune system?
Yes, it is. Microbes can get in through any hole in your body, and your ear holes are one of them. The ear wax is a sticky substance that stops microbes from infecting your ears and letting your body get infected by microbes. Further answer I personally don't see it as part of the immune system. Defence system - yes, immune - no. The immune system fights bacteria and other foreign bodies by developing anti-bodies which kill them, generally in the blood stream. Not quite the same thing as stopping stuff getting into your ear in the first place.
