The body’s defense mechanisms protect the internal environment from harmful microorganisms, toxins, and foreign substances. The immune system, skin, mucous membranes, and inflammatory responses prevent infection and damage. They identify and destroy harmful pathogens, remove damaged cells, and support tissue repair. These processes help maintain a stable internal environment and keep the body functioning normally. Defenses also regulate immune responses to prevent excessive inflammation and protect healthy tissues. Thus, effective defense mechanisms are essential for maintaining overall health and homeostasis.
