What are three ways your body defends itself against pathogens

Biology
1 answer:
lozanna [386]3 years ago

1 reason: Certain white blood cells called lymphocytes are responsible for producing the antibodies which destroy specific pathogens by detecting antigens (foreign chemicals released by the pathogen).

2 reason: Pathogens can produce harmful chemicals called toxins, and white blood cells produce antitoxins to destroy these.

3 reason: White blood cells are key in protecting against pathogens. They ingest the harmful microorganisms (they surround them and take them up - a bit like eating them, but you must use the word ingest).

I found these on internet and a little bit of my knowledge but I hope this helps :)
