Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Fever is not the first line of defense; it is considered the second line of defense. Suppose the first line of defense couldn’t protect the body, and the pathogen still enters the body. In that case, the second line of defense protects the body, including fever, inflammation, and phagocytosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The innate immune responses are the first line of defense against invading pathogens. They are also required to initiate specific adaptive immune responses. Innate immune responses rely on the body’s ability to recognize conserved features of pathogens that are not present in the uninfected host.
