Goal of 1st line of defense: to prevent pathogen from entering body
There are physical and chemical barriers where all exposed body entrances would be. Ex. Skin, mouth, eyes, nostrils.
-The skin: composed of tough dead cells that are constantly shedding- physical barrier bc it prevents pathogen from latching on. Skin also contains sweat and oil glands that secrete acids and oils that prevent the growth of pathogens- chemical barrier. Also, sweat contains lysozyme.
Saliva and tears: protect the mouth and the eyes from pathogen invasion. Saliva and tears contain lysozyme.
Nostrils, digestive + respiratory tracts lined with another barrier: mucous.
The lack of effective palliative care has many causes. This would include the lack of integration of palliative care into most health care systems, the inaccessibility of hospice care, ignorance of methods of palliative care, difficulties in obtaining narcotics, cultural and religious beliefs of the patient and family.
Resistance training shoukd last no longer then a half hour.
