Answer:
The body's other defences against microbes
digestive tract - the mucous lining contains antibodies, and the acid in the stomach can kill most microbes. other defences - body fluids like skin oil, saliva and tears contain anti-bacterial enzymes that help reduce the risk of infection.

In general, your body fights disease by keeping things out of your body that are foreign. Your primary defense against pathogenic germs are physical barriers like your skin. You also produce pathogen-destroying chemicals, like lysozyme, found on parts of your body without skin, including your tears and mucus membranes.
