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 />

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

They are located at the armpits, anogenital regions,ear canal,eye lids, areola and nipples of the breast.

This gland secretions is not continuous, but in periodic fashion. The components of the secretion are protein,lipids, steroids. The secretion is usually odorless and Oily in nature. However  this changed when mixed with bacterial or germs on exposure to the skin surface.

At the base of the hair follicles are the sebacious glands which produced sebum. Therefore as the apocrine secretion leaves the secretory ducts, they are mixed with sebum to reach the epidermal surface of the skin.
