White blood cells help to defend against pathogens by:
■ ingesting pathogens
■ producing antibodies, which destroy particular
bacteria or viruses
■ producing antitoxins, which counteract the toxins
released by the pathogens.
One way the human body can be protected from infection is to engage in frequent hand-washing.
This depends on the type of infection if it is a general infection from say a cut on your finger then white blood cells will go to the infected zone to fight the infection. If they die while fighting this infection then puss will form. some infections can kill you others are mild.
A large protected body of water
Nervous system is well protected from infection. But when infected, patient is serious and if not properly treated, he can die.
Yes, pathogens can directly affect the human body by causing infections or diseases when they invade tissues and cells. They can disrupt normal physiological processes, leading to symptoms such as fever, inflammation, and tissue damage. The body's immune response is activated to fight off the infection caused by pathogens.

Infection allows the pathogen to enter human cells. Without infection plasmodium or any other pathogen can not enter the cells.

A toxin-mediated infection is caused when a living organism is consumed with food (as in the case of an infection). Once the organism is inside the human body, it produces a toxin that causes the illness. Toxin-mediated infection is different from an intoxication because the toxin is produced inside the human body. An example of an organism that causes this type of illness is Clostridium perfringens.
Facial cellulitis in an infection of dermis and subcutaneous tissues occurred on facial area of human body. In my opinion, that is most unpleasant type of cellulitis infection.
Any injection done without standard precautions and asepsis can introduce sources of infection into the human body.
