Detailed explanation-2: -Nonspecific defense mechanisms include the skin, mucous membranes, secretions, excretions, enzymes, inflammatory responses, genetic factors, hormonal responses, nutritional status, behavior patterns, and the presence of other diseases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nonspecific defenses include anatomic barriers, inhibitors, phagocytosis, fever, inflammation, and IFN.

Detailed explanation-4: -Among the nonspecific chemical defenses of the body are the secretions of lubricating glands. The tears and saliva contain the enzyme lysozyme, which breaks down the peptidoglycan of the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -NON SPECIFIC DEFENSES: Skin and Mucous membranes, antimicrobial chemicals, natural killer cells, phagocytosis, inflammation and fever.
