FEEDBACK MECHANISM is a regulatory mechanism in which presence of certain level of substance promotes or inhibits its further formation.
The regulation of secretion of Thyrocalcitonin from thyroid gland is an example of such feedback control mechanism. It occurs in two ways:

a) When calcium levels are too high, the thyroid detects this and releases calcitonin. calcitonin stimulates the kidneys to release more calcium and it causes bones to absorb more calcium and build more matrix. This is called Negative Feedback Control.

b) In response to a decrease in calcium levels, parathyroid hormone is released, which causes the release of calcium from bone and retention of calcium in the body, and the calcium level rises back to normal. This is called Positive Feedback Control.

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.
