Which epithelium is best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues?

Alexus [3.1K]2 years ago

Epithelial cells best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues are stratified squamous epithelial cells.

Stratified cells are layered cells, squamous cells are flat and epithelial cells are covering cells. Therefore, stratified squamous epithelial cells are flattened, layered covering cells arranged on a basement membrane.

Stratified squamous epithelial cells have very little to no intercellular spaces which prevent pathogen from passing through and entering into the deeper tissues. They are well suited for resisting abrasion because the uppermost layers are subsequently sloughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed. These types of cells form the outermost layer of the skin.

What is true of saturated fatty acids?
Misha Larkins [42]
Saturated fatty acids are 'saturated' with hydrogen meaning they contain the maximum number of hydrogen. This causes them to be straight on the molecular level, allowing them to be packed close together other saturated fatty acids. Thus, they tend to be solids at room temperature. Examples of saturated fats are butter and the solid white fat you see on raw meat.

kompoz [17]

The answer is; D

This is referred to as co-evolution. It involves the reciprocal evolution of 2 species. This kind of evolution can be seen in mutualism (like the choices described above), and also predator-prey, host-parasite relationships. The term co-evolution was coined by Paul R. Ehrlich and Peter H. Raven in 1964.
