This is the mucus membrane.

Mucus membranes are found lining the body canals and cavities that lead to the outside  namely the respiratory tract and digestive tract as well as the urogenital tract.

Mucous membranes secrete a sticky substance called mucus which is made of a monopoly saccharide called mucin.

The mucus traps pathogens and other particulate matter, preventing them from getting to deeper tissues. Once trapped, these unwanted foreign intruders are expelled outside of the body with the mucus, or swallowed into the stomach where they are destroyed by the strong acid  there.

Imagine you are cutting a bagel (one of the most common household injuries) and you get a cut. The cut heals. How do the new cel
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The new cells are the same as the previous ones, since they are the result of the mitosis process.

Explanation:

When we cut our skin, our brain sends information to millions of cells to take action and prevent this cut from putting us in danger. At that moment, the blood cells begin their work, supplying enough oxygen to stop possible bleeding and start the healing process. Then another group of cells swap out possible bacteria that may be trying to get into the wound. Last but not least, skin cells enter cell division and undergo mitosis, to generate new cells and create a new skin layer.

New cells are the same as old cells, as they are the result of mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division where one cell gives rise to two cells exactly the same as it.
