The three lines of defense your body has against disease including all except
The three lines of defense your body has against disease are:
1. Physical barriers: This includes the skin, which acts as a physical barrier to prevent pathogens from entering the body. Mucus and cilia in the respiratory system also serve as physical barriers by trapping and removing pathogens that are inhaled.
2. Innate immune response: This is a general defense mechanism that is present from birth and provides a rapid response to pathogens. It includes white blood cells (such as phagocytes) that engulf and destroy pathogens, as well as inflammation and fever responses.
3. Adaptive immune response: This is a specific defense mechanism that develops over time and is tailored to a specific pathogen. It involves the production of antibodies and specialized white blood cells (such as T cells and B cells) that recognize and destroy specific pathogens.
The "except" part of the question is missing, could you please clarify what you mean by that?
