If pathogens manage to pass the non-specific first line of defence then they will cause an infection. However, the body has a second line of defence to stop or minimise this infection. This is called the immune system. As a part of this there are two types of white blood cell called phagocytes and lymphocytes.
The body has natural barriers to prevent patheogens from entering inside. Some of these are natural barriers, which includes the use of certain body parts to block the entry of the patheogens.
One of these natural barriers is the skin, which protects the internal organs from damage caused by diseases, as well as harmful chemicals and radiation from the sun.
The nasal hairs in the nose and sticky mucus along the windpipe also helps prevent diseases by filtering the air. If some irritants get into the nose, the person will cough to shift the mucus down into the throat to be swallowed. The mucus will then be transferred to the stomach so that the patheogens can be killed by its acid.
The body also have chemical barriers to prevent the entry of patheogens. This includes body fluids with cleansing properties such as saliva and tears, which are capable of washing away particles trapped under the skin's surface.
The acid in the stomach (as mentioned above) bears the ability to kill a majority of patheogens before they enter into other parts of the digestive system, which prevents intestine-related diseases.
