Describe natural barriers represented in innate immunity with examples of each: Explain mechanisms of action of how normal flora on the skin and mucous membranes protects the body. Normal flora: nonpathogenic microbes on skin and mucous membranes. Compete with pathogens by producing chemicals that inhibit colonization. Provide examples of opportunistic infections when normal flora is disrupted. Secretions normal flora, tears and gastric juices (stomach ph) Describe how inflammation is a body response to damaged tissue or pathogens. Protective mechanism and important basic concept in pathophysiology.
