Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The outer surface of body defenses is nonspecific, which means they do not attack specific pathogens. Skin is the very first immune system against nonspecific pathogens. Other than mucous membranes also act as a barrier to pathogens and produce chemical defenses.

Saliva also provides a non-specific external response as it contains mucus, antibacterial compounds and various enzymes to target bacteria and other pathogens.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

________ are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.
forsale [732]

Answer:

The cells of the visual cortex are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.

These neurons respond to stimuli presented to both eyes. Simple cells receive innervation directly from thalamic cells and respond to light stimuli with defined orientation and with specific configuration and location in the visual field. Complex cells also respond to the orientation parameter.  

These cells trigger action potentials when the visual stimulus appears within their receptive field.
