Nonamiya [84]3 years ago

Small, but normal variations in genes may produce proteins that work differently from those of other individuals ( friends or relatives). This may affect how we respond  to different medicines. The extent to which these proteins functions varies from one individual to another. Example; certain painkillers only work when body proteins convert them from an inactive form to an active one. If these proteins work too fast, the drug will be eliminated from the body before it has time to work. To do their job the pain killers need to bind and modulate a target body protein, the receptor, such that if the target body protein is altered the pain killer might not be able to bind.

All these belong to the second line of defense except
babunello [35]

Answer:

Option D, Gastric Juices

Explanation:

The second line of defense is a non specific defense mechanism in which no specific individual is targeted but all invaders are killed in general way. Some common mode of second line of defense are - Phagocytic cells (white blood cells), inflammatory responses, macrophage system etc. The second line of defense comes into action when the invader has surpassed the first line of defense which include either physical barrier like skin, mucous membrane, hair, cilia etc. or chemical barriers like gastric juices, saliva, Hyaluronic acid etc.

Hence, gastric juice does not belong to second line of defense.

Thus, option D is correct.
