Question
what are the physical barriers of innate immunity?
adaptive immunity and t-cells
lymph nodes and spleen
antibodies and antigens
skin and mucous membranes.
digestive enzymes and bile
Innate immunity's physical barriers are the first - line defenses. Skin acts as a physical shield, and mucous membranes (e.g., in respiratory, digestive tracts) trap pathogens. Adaptive immunity (with T - cells) is a specific, acquired response. Lymph nodes and spleen are part of the lymphatic/immune system but not physical barriers. Antibodies (adaptive) and antigens (foreign substances) are not physical barriers. Digestive enzymes and bile are chemical defenses (not physical).
