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

Biology

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.

DNA is a nucleic acid that consists of thousands of smaller, repeating units called nucleotides.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Besides storing genetic information, nucleic acids helps in

Understanding diseases

Creation of proteins

Transmission of information

Explanation:

Understanding diseases

Knowledge about the nucleic acids and their mechanism of action helps in understanding the causes of a disease and the possible cure for the disease. A genetic disease is caused when there is a faulty gene, which is made up of nucleic acids, is present in the genome. These genes will make faulty RNA's which will result in the establishment of faulty proteins. Hence, by having understanding about nucleic acids, diseases can be studies and cured.

Creation of proteins

The information from the DNA is coded by the mRNA which is used to make proteins.

Transmission of information

Apart from storing information, the nucleic acids such as the DNA are also involved in the transmission of information.

Hemostasis is the process of which involves stopping the bleeding in the event when bleeding occurs, either internally or externally. In this case, there might have been a cut (from the broken glass) and made the suspect bleed but stopped by the body's hemostatic mechanisms. 

The hemostatic mechanism is as follows:
(1) Immediate local vasoconstriction to prevent further blood loss
(2) Activation of platelets and the formation of a platelet plug
(3) The coagulation cascade which ultimately forms a fibrin mesh to stop the bleeding
(4) Fibrinolysis to regulate the coagluation cascade and prevent thrombosis
