Answer:

Mechanical barriers — which include the skin , mucous membranes , and fluids such as tears and urine — physically block pathogens from entering the body. Chemical barriers — such as enzymes in sweat , saliva , and semen — kill pathogens on body surfaces.

Answer:

The immune system comprises both innate and adaptive immune responses. Innate immunity occurs naturally due to genetic factors or physiology. It is not induced by infection or vaccination but is constantly available to reduce the workload for the adaptive immune response. The adaptive immune response expands over time, storing information about past infections and mounting pathogen-specific defenses. Both the innate and adaptive levels of the immune response involve secreted proteins, receptor-mediated signaling, and intricate cell-to-cell communication.

Explanation:

The skin, or epithelial surface, serves as the primary barrier to microbial entry into the body; skin peeling, drying out, and the skin’s acidity all serve to dislodge or kill foreign pathogens.

Orifices such as the eyes and mouth, which are not covered by skin, have other mechanisms by which they prevent entry; tears wash away microbes, while cilia in the nasal passages and respiratory tract push mucus (which traps pathogens) out of the body.

Many chemical barriers also exist once pathogens make it past the outer physical barriers; the acidity of the stomach ensures that few organisms arriving with food survive the digestive system.

Hope this helps!

natulia [17]

The right option is; Lava

Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava hardens and cools.  

Extrusive igneous rocks are types of igneous rocks that form when hot magma from inside the earth extrudes to the surface as lava which hardens and cools immediately to form small crystals. Some lava can also cool immediately to form an amorphous glass. Examples of extrusive igneous rocks include rhyolite, andesite, obsidian, basalt, pumice, scoria, tuff and dacite.

What is pressure and how do we get it
Kryger [21]

Answer:

pressure, in the physical sciences, the perpendicular force per unit area, or the stress at a point within a confined fluid. ... In SI units, pressure is measured in pascals; one pascal equals one newton per square metre. Atmospheric pressure is close to 100,000 pascals.

Calculating pressure

To calculate pressure, you need to know two things:

Pressure is calculated using this equation:

pressure = force ÷ area.
