6. Micro-organisms and Disease-General Principle

There are two lines of defense in our bodies.

First line of defense

 Skin: covers and protects the body
 Acid in the stomach: can kill some bacteria and viruses
 Hair in the nose: helps filter the air we
breathe
 Cilia: Beat to move the mucus carrying dust, bacteria,
and viruses away from the lungs
 Scab: Stops bleeding, stops micro-organisms from
getting in, lets your new skin form underneath,
protected from any further knocks.
 Second line of defense
 White blood cells: They are the
army of our body. They engulf
bacteria and viruses
