Detailed explanation-1: -The body’s most important nonspecific defense is the skin, which acts as a physical barrier to keep pathogens out. Even openings in the skin (such as the mouth and eyes) are protected by saliva, mucus, and tears, which contain an enzyme that breaks down bacterial cell walls.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Body’s MOST IMPORTANT Nonspecific Defense is the SKIN. UNBROKEN Skin provides a continuous layer that protects almost the whole body. Very Few Pathogens can penetrate the layers of dead cells at the skin’s surface.
Detailed explanation-3: -The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against germs entering the body. It responds in the same way to all germs and foreign substances, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the “nonspecific” immune system.
