Answer: The immune system

Explanation:

The immune system is a complex network of proteins and cells that defends the body against infection or any invasion. The human defense system in the body is actually made up of entire organs and vessel systems like the lymph vessels. The immune system is made up of organs that control the production and maturation of certain defense cells.

Initially, all living things are subjected to attack from disease causing agents. Even bacteria, so small that more than a million could fit on the head of a pin, have systems to defend against infection by viruses. This kind of protection gets more sophisticated as organisms become more complex.

The means for transmission of disease-causing microorganism is provided by the ____. ​
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: The means for transmission of disease-causing microorganism is provided by the direct or indirect contact.

Microorganisms can cause disease only once they are transferred to the body. The disease causing microorganisms are termed as pathogens which are transmitted by several ways such as from skin to skin, by nuclei droplets, through blood and body fluids or via air. In vector transmissions the disease is carried by the parasitic insects via animals, air borne transmission occurs when microorganisms move through air or the dust particles, droplet transmission occurs by coughing, sneezing or talking by the person who is infected while indirect transmission occurs by physical contact or by touching contaminated objects.
