Ans. (D). mucus and stomach acid.

The first line of defense can be defined as the defense system that inhibits the entry of disease-causing pathogens or their components. It includes tears, skin, mucus, stomach acid, good bacteria, cilia, and neutrophils.

Pathogens present in food substances killed by antimicrobial substances present in saliva, mucus produced by epithelial lining of gastrointestinal tract, and stomach acid or hydrochloric acid. So, if a pathogen present in food got past saliva, it would be targeted by mucus and stomach acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Aneli [31]
<span>Epithelial tissue is densely packed cells that used most in the area where protection is needed. This cells mostly used in skin, some with more keratin which will increase their ability to protect. In bone, the main protective layer is calcium mineral which was deposited by osteocytes. Because this bone doesn't really need more epithelial cells. Bone tissue only needs a good vascularization and connective tissue to support it.

How do prions disrupt the normal function of an organism and cause diseases such as mad cow disease?
aev [14]

Answer:

Prions causes abnormal folding of the prion proteins in the brain.

Explanation:

Prions are the abnormal infectious agents composed only of the proteins and no nucleic acids. The prions cause several neurodegenerative diseases in the humans as well as the mammals.

The prions cause the cow mad disease in the cows by affecting the brain of the cow as the prions act on the prion proteins present in the brain only and change their conformation. This leads to the degeneration of the neurons and causes tiny pores in the brain giving sponge-like appearance.

This slows down the mental activity and thus ultimately leads to the death of the cow.
