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.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The placenta is the temporary association of fetus and maternal tissue. It is meant for nutrition and transport of different substances.

Explanation:

The placenta is a temporary association of fetal and maternal tissues. The placenta is formed from the trophoblast of the blastula. These trophoblasts   form chorionic villi which later forms the placenta. The chorion and allantois also take part in the formation of the placenta. Hence, the human placenta is known as the chorioallantoic placenta. The process of formation of the placenta is known as placentation.  

The placenta has several functions but the major function is to provide nutrition to the fetus. The developing fetus gets nutrition from the mother's body by the placenta. The placenta provided with blood vessels which help in the transportation of different substances. It also helps in gas exchange between the mother and baby. Thus it plays a vital role in fetal respiration. The metabolic wastes diffuse through the placenta. Placenta also stores fat, glycogen, which participates in protein metabolism.
