Answer:

False

Explanation:

The thyroid gland secrete two thyroid hormones called thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Thyroxine is the in active form which is later converted to the active form triiodothyronine by kidneys and livers. The two hormones function by increasing the metabolic activities of tissues. They increase the body heat production which in turn increase oxygen consumption and ATP hydrolysis because they burn body fat thereby increasing energy production and increasing basal metabolic rate. They regulate body temperature.

Which of the following are part of the body’s first line of defense against pathogens?
Fed [463]

The answer is "D"

The body's first line of defense is also known as Innate immunity and incudes mucous membranes. Both the intact skin and mucous membranes of the body offer a high degree of protection against pathogens.

 A good example is the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. It is lined up with cilia and covered with mucus. The coordinated beating of the cilia drives the mucus up to the nose and mouth where the trapped bacteria can be expelled.

(Lymph nodes and white blood cells belong to the second line of defense, not the first)
