Immune system - through a complex interaction between various types of immune cells, the body is able to decompose invading organisms
Immune system memory - information about the pathogens encountered during an illness is stored in immune cells and is used to quickly destroy those pathogens if they become present in the body again (basis for vaccines)
Metabolic adjustments - during severe infections or trauma, the body lowers the consumption of nutrients thus lowering the chances of introducing unwanted microorganisms or toxins into the bloodstream
Blood-Brain barrier - filters out larger molecules - effetively preventing many microorganisms from entering the brain
Sneezing, runny nose, sweat, high fever, vomitting - creates unfavorable microenvironment and expels decomposed (fully or partially) and active pathogens( bacteria, viruses, fungi)
What else can I help you with?
How does resident normal flora protect the body against pathogens?
Resident normal flora compete with pathogens for nutrients and space, thereby preventing pathogens from colonizing and causing infections. Additionally, normal flora can produce substances that inhibit the growth of pathogens or modulate the immune response to promote defense against invading pathogenic organisms.
How are passive immunity and active immunity are similar?
They are similar because they both protect the body and fight against pathogens.
How does lymph help protect against infection?
How does the lymphatic system protect the body against pathogens?
What would result in the human body being unable to defend itself against pathogens and cancerous cells?
by eating wrong!
How does the body protect itself against alcohol?
the liver filters out the alcohol and the body releases it in the form of urine
State one specific way white blood cells help to protect the human body from pathogens?
They don't defend pathogens. They defend *against*pathogens. They poison them, they burn them with ozone / hydrogen peroxide / sodium hypochlorite / chorine dioxide, and then they eat them whole if necessary.
Does the human body have an enormous capacity to protect itself against?
disease and climatic injury
How does the human body protect itself from microbes?
One way the body protects itself against microbes is with the cell membrane. The cell membrane is like a body guard, it lets certain cells, and virus's in. Another way the body can protect itself is with the white blood cell. The white blood cell defends the body against microbes.
Which describes how the body's immune system works?
white blood cells, called lymphocytes, destroy pathogens and protect against future infections.
What describes how the body immune system works?
white blood cells, called lymphocytes, destroy pathogens and protect against future infections
What body systems work together to protect the body from pathogens?
The immune system and the lymphatic system work together to protect the body from pathogens. The immune system recognizes and targets pathogens, while the lymphatic system helps circulate immune cells and remove pathogens from the body. Additionally, the skin and mucous membranes act as physical barriers to prevent pathogens from entering the body.
Which system defends the body against pathogenes?
tyrese
