Pathogens can be sloughed off by mechanical means, such as
falling off in dead skin cells, coughing or sneezing, vomiting, or
flushing from the urinary tract in urine. —ANS: What else is it about
the skin that protects individuals from injury and disease?
There is a low pH on the skin and stomach that generally inhibits
microorganisms —ANS: How might the characteristics of skin and
the bodily fluids associated with it also help to protect us from
infection?
It prevents and/or limits infection and additional damage by
initiating the influx of plasma, plasma proteins, plasma enzymes,
and the distribution of leukocytes from the blood vessels to the
injury. It recruits members of the adaptive immunity community to
launch a more specific defense against the pathogens and
