HSC Biology 2nd Paper Note 10th Chapter Defence System of Human Body. The first parts of the general defense system are real barriers that stop the pathogens from entering the body. These barriers try to stop all pathogens, therefore, they are considered non-specific defenses. The physical barriers of our general defense system consisting of:
- The Skin- This was discussed in the excretion web page. It is a physical barrier that stops pathogens.
- Clotting- If the skin is broken the blood clot stops entry of pathogens.
- Sebaceous and sweat glands- These produce chemicals that kill bacteria.
- Lysozyme- This is in the saliva and the tear glands. It kills bacteria.
- Mucous membranes- These secrete mucus which lines many body parts. The mucous traps pathogens and prevents them from entering the body.
- Nasal hairs- These remove suspended micro-organisms from the air.
- Cilia- These small hairs beat to force mucus to the pharynx for swallowing to the stomach. Coughing helps in this process.
