Question

which body cell provides resistance against infection

Answer 1

Natural barriers and the immune system defend the body against organisms that can cause infection.

Natural barriers include the skin, mucous membranes, tears, earwax, mucus, and stomach acid. Also, the normal flow of urine washes out microorganisms that enter the urinary tract.

The immune system uses white blood cells and antibodies to identify and eliminate organisms that get through the body’s natural barriers.

Answer 2

The human body has a built in immune system that works as defense against any infection. The immune system is made up of a complex network of cells, organs and signals having collective working mechanism that helps fight infections.

There are special blood cells that travel via blood to defend against infections and the most important of them in defending against infections are the white blood cells.
