The body's nonspecific defiance against invading pathogens is known as innate immunity and includes the following:
mechanical barriers and surface secretions
1. The intact skin and mucous membranes of the body. These provide a high degree of protection against pathogens.
2. The sebaceous secretions and sweat of the skin contain bactericidal and fungicidal fatty acids that can kill bacteria and fungi.
3. Normal bacterial flora of the skin may produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocines and acids.
Humoral defence mechanisms
1. Lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in most tissue fluids apart from cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It can kill bacteria.
2. Interferon. Inhibits viruses from replicating
3. Complement. This is a heat labile serum that can destroy gram-negative bacteria.

Answer: The cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue is called MITOSIS.
Explanation:
The skin is the largest organ of the body that contains various cells which includes: the epidermal and dermal cells. With the various activities of man, the skin is susceptible to injury through burns.
The healing of the skin, especially injury sustained from burns involves the interaction between the different cell types. Recently, scientists can bioengineer skin in a laboratory to treat severe burns and other types of skin injuries which are grown from living cells.
MITOSIS is the cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue. It is also defined as the process by which a cell duplicates into two genetically identical daughter cells.
The process of mitosis occurs in 4 stages; the prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The various activities that occurs on these stages brings about the growth and the development of the cells into tissue.
