QuestionAnswer
the rsistance to infection and disease immunity
although immunity can be though af being maintained by an __ is is actuality dependent on other structures immune system
immune mechanisms are divided into to categories innate (non specific) and adaptive/acquired (specific immunity)
the ability to resis infection and disease that is built in or present at birth innate immunity
aquired immunity involves some thype of interaction with an external agen called an antigen
__ provied defense against diff types of pahtogens as it is non specific innate
__ provied the first line of defense againset pathogens skin and mucous membranes
__ cover the external surfaces of our bodies and connects with mucous membranes in oral and anal openings dry skin
__ cover the internal surfaces of our bodies mucous membranes
skin and mucous membranes provide both __ and __ barries against pathogens mechanical (physical) and chemical barries
__ is composed of epithelial cells supported by a dermis epidermis
__ is a layer of dense connective tissue dermis
___ is composed of stratified squamous epithelium epidermis
cells at skin surgace are highly ___ keratinized
__ means having high levels of keratin protens keratinized
