Answer #1

Answer: As micro-organisms enter the respiratory tract, the first obstacles to entry are from mechanical barriers. Mucins of the mucociliary blanket lining the surface of the airways act by trapping micro-organisms that are then cleared by ciliary movement. Particles that pass this barrier are met by a range of soluble mediators, some constitutive and some induced by specific activation, produced by cells of the respiratory tract.

Basophils, neutrophils and eosinophils reported to have higher than normal levels.
