Type of Innate Defense

What is happening in the body during the defense?

It is a very windy day, and you have inhaled all kinds of particles – from dust to potentially harmful pathogens – but a quick sneeze prevents you from coming down with an illness.

Physical Barrier

The nose contains mucous, which helps to flush out microbes and particles when a person sneezes.

A man at a restaurant ingests food contaminated with microbes that could potentially cause disease. The microbes do not survive very long in his stomach, so he does not get sick.

A child gets a small cut on her foot while running barefoot on the beach. The wound becomes slightly red and swollen. Her wound does not get infected, but it hurts a little, and it feels a bit warm.

Yesterday, you suspected you might be getting sick. Today, you feel very tired. When you take your temperature, the thermometer reads 100.2ºF.

Flesh-eating bacteria are present on your leg. You do not have any wounds, so you do not become infected in spite of exposure.

Your teenage brother has developed a zit on his forehead. (Hint: Identify two types of defenses, since infection has occurred.)
