B 100
What are the 5 major
barriers? (List them, please)
B 200
•Tears

•Skin
•Mucous Membranes
•Stomach Acid
B 200
During the nonspecific
response, these specific white
blood cells attack the
invading pathogens
B 300

B 300
Why does your body create a
fever during the nonspecific
response?
B 400
It signals the body to produce
more white blood cells and
makes it harder for the
pathogens to reproduce
B 400
Phagocytes produce these
proteins during the
nonspecific response that stop
the virus from reproducing.
B 500
