Explanation / Answer

1.

The body defends against the foreign particles in two levels that include Non-specific defense mechanism and specific defense mechanism.

The non-specific defense mechanism is further classified into two levels as first line of defense (barriers) and second line of defense (internal defenses). The first line of defense includes skin, mucus membrane, tears, cilia, and gastric juice. Thus, mucus in the mucus membrane is an example of the first line of defense.

Hence, the correct option among the following is a.

2.

The first line of defense includes skin, mucus membrane, cilia, and gastric juice. The second line of defense include leukocytes, phagocytes, NK cells, complement proteins, interferons, fever etc. The immune cells induce the fever.

Hence, the correct option among the following is c.

3.

Macrophages are the type of white blood cells. Macrophages are formed by differentiation of monocytes in the tissues. Thus, the monocytes leave the blood stream and mature into macrophages.

Hence, the correct option among the following is a.
