Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
What is the purpose of mucus?
Respuesta
  • To trap dust and other microorganisms.
  • Maintain rhythm like gas exchange.
  • Ensure transport of ions.

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
What is the properties of mucus in a person struggling with CF?
Respuesta
  • Mucus is runnier
  • Mucus contains segments of blood
  • Mucus is stickier

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
What is the purpose of cilia in the lungs?
Respuesta
  • Dissable pathogens.
  • keep the lungs clean
  • Regulate blood flow

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
How do cilia fulfill it's purpose?
Respuesta
  • Using enzymes present in the epithelial cells.
  • by beating and moving substances along the tube they line.
  • inflating and deflating, propelling durt through open pores.

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
What are they three types of epithelial cells?
Respuesta
  • squamous
  • cubodial
  • spherical
  • columnar

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Mucus lines the airways in the lungs. Mucus traps [blank_start]dust[blank_end] and [blank_start]microorganisms[blank_end]. Mucus is removed by the [blank_start]cilia[blank_end] in a wave like motion. A person with CF struggles with [blank_start]stickier[blank_end] mucus. This mucus is [blank_start]harder[blank_end] to remove by the cilia.
Respuesta
  • dust
  • microorganisms
  • cilia
  • stickier
  • harder

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
The stickier the mucus, the more the mucus builds up. Thus [blank_start]increasing[blank_end] the distance at which [blank_start]respiratory[blank_end] substances diffuse through. In turn [blank_start]reducing[blank_end] the rate of diffusion and making gas exchange [blank_start]less[blank_end] efficient.
Respuesta
  • increasing
  • respiratory
  • reducing
  • less

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
White blood cells fight infection however how do they cause a problem in a person struggling with CF (in terms of mucus)?
Respuesta
  • When white blood cells die they break down and release Dna which makes the mucus even sticker.
  • when white blood cells come into contact with mucus then release antibodies which break down the epithelial cells.
  • White blood cells And sodium present in the mucus react triggering mitosis.
