When a pathogen enters the body, it first encounters the body's physical and chemical barriers, primarily the skin and mucous membranes. These barriers provide a first line of defense by preventing the pathogen from entering deeper tissues. If the pathogen breaches these surfaces, it then encounters immune cells and proteins in the innate immune system, which act quickly to identify and combat the invader.

When a pathogen enters the body, it first encounters the body's physical and chemical barriers, primarily the skin and mucous membranes. These barriers serve as the first line of defense, preventing pathogens from penetrating deeper into the body. Additionally, secretions like saliva, mucus, and tears contain antimicrobial proteins that can neutralize or inhibit the growth of pathogens. If these barriers are breached, the immune system's innate responses come into play to fight the infection.
It is called a pathogen! it carries the bacteria fugus disease or whatever else into the body!
The TB pathogen enters the body through inhalation of airborne droplets containing the bacteria. These droplets are released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. Once inhaled, the bacteria can travel into the lungs and cause infection.
Yes, contagious diseases are infections. Infections are occur when a pathogen (germ) enters the body and reproduces.
A very broad answer to a very broad question... A "pathogen" as defined by a dictionary would be, "any disease-producing agent, esp. a virus, bacterium, or other microorganism." First- a "pathogen" in drinking water will cause nothing unless someone or something drinks the water or if the "pathogen" enters the body/host by some other means... Second- even once the "pathogen" enters the body it may still cause nothing, as the quantity of the "pathogen" must be sufficient to cause the would be disease... Third- because a "pathogen" could be any one of millions of things, what disease would be caused by your hypothetical "pathogen in the drinking water" would depend entirely on what it is... You should seriously consider being more specific about your question. If you are interested in a specific pathogen and the associated disease, please try again.

You will learn in health class. Just Wait....
The pathogen tries to infect the body. The defense mechanism of the body resists the entry of the pathogen. If pathogen succeeds the infection is established and the body becomes sick.
When the body encounters a pathogen for the second time, it can produce a significantly higher quantity of antibodies compared to the first encounter due to the memory cells formed during the initial exposure. This secondary immune response is faster and more robust, often resulting in the production of millions of antibodies within days. The exact number can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s immune system, the type of pathogen, and previous exposure. Overall, the response is typically much more efficient than the first encounter.
Active acquired immunity occurs when you get an infection by a pathogen (bacteria, virus) and your body responds and removes the pathogen and also your body makes "memory" cells. These cell remember this pathogen and when it enters your body again you remove it immediately. You are now immune to it. You usually don't notice this.
