What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

Things like the skin and mucus? I know that the skin covers and protects the body from many pathogens and foreign substances encountered every day and mucus defend the mouth, nose, and eyes, using both chemical and physical means to minimize the pathogens that enter the body.

Of course, shoot!

anonymous · Answer

Would a method used to control pathogens be like antibodies? Are there any others? :)

inexilewetrust · Answer

Antibodies are the body's natural reactions. They fight off diseases. I am not too sure but I think medications help with this purpose as well.

Okay thank you so much! :)

Things like antibiotics help the body fight off sickness.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those, I learned about those in my previous lesson. Thanks!
