The first line of defense is the skin. It is the largest organ in the body and it acts as a barrier between invaders (pathogens) and the body. Microorganisms and bacteria cannot enter the skin unless it is broken. Inflammation is one of the signs that the first barrier has been destroyed.

The second line of defense is your cells. These are your white blood cells (leukocytes). There are different types but each one fights off the pathogens in order to protect you.

Once the bacteria has taken over what happens is that your white blood cells will increase and will activate your lymphatic system. This explains why you get high fever and the lymph nodules are swollen when one is sick. For instance, tonsils will inflame for those who have bacterial infection in the throat.  <span />

How do the unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids affect the structure of cell membranes?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Unsaturated fatty acids are a component of the phospholipids in cell membranes and help maintain membrane fluidity. The Phospholipids contain a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, when compressed, the “kinks” in their tails push adjacent phospholipid molecules away, that helps in maintain fluidity in the membrane. Unsaturated fatty acids have at least one double bond, creating a "kink" in the chain, the absence of double bonds decreases fluidity, making the membrane very strong and stacked tightly.

The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids determines the fluidity in the membrane at a temperature, at appropriate temperatures the phospholipids have enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the membrane together, which increases membrane fluidity.
