🗑
what does gastric jiuces do in the stomach?   it kills the pathogens that enter the stomach  
🗑
what is the second line of defence?   inate, and acquired immune responses  
🗑

🗑
what is a white blood cell?   they are cells that are carried in the blood to fight infections in the body. the white blood cells are sent to the part of the body that is infected by the pathogens. the white blood cells swallow the invading pathogens  
🗑
what is a acquired immune response?   normally, the immune system recognizes tissue and cells of the body as things that belonge to the body. when the body invaded by a foreign substance, the immune system recogizes it as not belonging. it can take up to a week to develop the reponse needed

🗑
what is the other way the body starts a acquired immune response?   the other way that the body starts an aquired immune response involves the helper T cells. helper T cells find antigens and singal B cells to produce antibodies to attack them.  
🗑
