The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement about the barriers of innate immunity is incorrect, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: We need to identify the statement that is NOT correct regarding the barriers of innate immunity. 2. **Analyze Option 1**: - The statement mentions that "acid present in stomach, saliva in the mouth, and tears from the eyes prevent the growth of microorganisms and constitute physiological barriers." - This statement is correct. The stomach acid (HCl) and enzymes in saliva and tears (like lysozyme) do indeed act as physiological barriers. 3. **Analyze Option 2**: - The statement says "mucous membrane lining the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tract helps in trapping the microbes and constitute physiological barriers." - This statement is incorrect. Mucous membranes are considered physical barriers, not physiological barriers. They trap pathogens but do not involve biochemical processes like physiological barriers do. 4. **Analyze Option 3**: - The statement refers to "certain types of leukocytes such as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, neutrophils, and natural killer cells constituting cellular barriers." - This statement is correct. These leukocytes play a crucial role in the immune response and act as cellular barriers. 5. **Analyze Option 4**: - The statement mentions "virus-infected cells secrete proteins called interferon which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection, constituting a cytokine barrier." - This statement is also correct. Interferons are indeed secreted by infected cells to protect neighboring cells from viral infections. 6. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all options, we find that the second option is the incorrect statement regarding the barriers of innate immunity. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding different barriers of innate immunity is **Option 2**: "mucous membrane lining the respiratory gastrointestinal urogenital tract helps in trapping the microbes and constitute physiological barriers." ---
