The document discusses the body's immune response and defenses against pathogens. The first line of defense includes physical and chemical barriers that try to prevent pathogens from entering the body. If pathogens get through, the second line of defense is inflammation. The third and last line of defense is the immune response, where the lymphatic system and immune cells work together to identify and destroy pathogens. Memory cells are left behind to provide lasting immunity against future exposures to the same pathogen.
