Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If a pathogen does make it into the body, there are secondary nonspecific defenses that take place. An inflammatory response begins when a pathogen stimulates an increase in blood flow to the infected area.

Detailed explanation-2: -The immune system’s three lines of defense include physical and chemical barriers, non-specific innate responses, and specific adaptive responses.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, it can trigger an increase in core body temperature to produce a fever. This can help fight a range of different pathogens by making it too hot for them to survive. Such general responses to infection make up the second line of defence.
