<span>1 Chemicals can be toxic because they can harm us when they enter or contact the body. Exposure to a toxic substance such as gasoline can affect your health. Since drinking gasoline can cause burns, vomiting, diarrhea and, in very large amounts, drowsiness or death, it is toxic. Some chemicals are hazardous because of their physical properties: they can explode, burn or react easily with other chemicals. Since gasoline can burn and its vapors can explode, gasoline is also hazardous. A chemical can be toxic, or hazardous, or both.

What are the body’s three defenses? How do they differ from each other.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

- Physical and chemical barriers

- non-specific innate responses

<u>The differences are...</u>

The first barrier is the physical and chemical barrier. It is the first line of defense when in contact with outside sources, this can be through the skin, earwax, nose-hair, etc.

The third barrier, the specific adaptive response, is the body's way of dealing with pathogens that the body has encountered before. (B cells activate)
