Components of the immune system.-Describe how the body prevents microorganisms from entering the bodyIn the human body, the primary line of defence is the skin. The skin stops most of the microbes from entering the interiors of the body. If however, the pathogen is able to gain access into the body, the lymphatic system comes into play. The pathogen is eliminated before it begins to cause any more trouble.-Describe how phagocytic cells destroy pathogensPhagocytosis is a form of Endocytosis. In phagocytosis, the cell engulfs the bacteria and keeps it in a bubble like structure called a phagosome. From there the cell injects lysosomes into the phagosome. The lysosome then releases an array of digestion enzymes to destroy the phage.
