When a pathogen enters the body, cells in the blood and lymph detect the specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the pathogen's surface. The immune system can be activated by a lot of different things that the body doesn't recognize as its own. These are called antigens. Examples of antigens include the proteins on the surfaces of bacteria, fungi and viruses. ... Sometimes the immune system mistakenly thinks that the body's own cells are foreign cells. Antigens are proteins that are found on the surface of the pathogen. ... The antibodies destroy the antigen (pathogen) which is then engulfed and digested by macrophages. White blood cells can also produce chemicals called antitoxins which destroy the toxins (poisons) some bacteria produce when they have invaded the body.

hope this helps :))

Morgarella [4.7K]
This means that the fertilized egg has implanted in the fallopian tube and is growing outside of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg settles and grows in any location other than the inner lining of the uterus. Most of these cases occurs in the Fallopian tube (tubal pregnancy). If untreated ectopic pregnancy can be a medical emergency.
