Q

An example of immune cells being strategically located where they can serve as the first lines of defense against invading microorganisms, viruses and parasites.

A

The small intestine- they are perfectly positioned to interact with invading foreign substances and they recognize these substances as non-self or foreign. Upon such “recognition” lymphocytes are activated and function to neutralize or destroy the invading foreign substance.
