What are microvilli/cilia? What are their functions?

Medicine
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Many cells in the body have extensions of their cellular menbrana, which depending on their length can be cilia or microvilli, which are the shortest. We see the case, for example, the microvilli found in the small intestine, more abundant at the level of the second and third portions of the intestine, which favors the great absorption of liquids, proteins and nutrients that occur at this level.

Cilia are cellular structures that have a more defined formation and are characterized by their nucleus being made up of proteins and enveloped by the cytosol and plasma menbrana. They are presented as an appendix in the form of hair; We will find these cilia in the cells of the respiratory system and in the reproductive system where they help the mobility of foreign bodies (respiratory system) and the movements of sperm (reproductive system).

Assess the client's feelings about alprazolam further.

Treatment for anxiety and panic disorders involves alprazolam. It is a member of the benzodiazepine drug class, which has calming effects on the central nervous system and the brain. It functions by boosting the body's natural chemical's effects (GABA).

When used with other drugs, alprazolam can raise the risk of significant or fatal respiratory issues, drowsiness, or coma. Alprazolam is available as a tablet, an extended-release tablet, an oral disintegrating tablet (a tablet that dissolves fast in the mouth), and an oral liquid concentration.

Typically, two to four times a day is the recommended dosage for the tablet, orally disintegrating tablet, and concentrated solution. One daily dose of the extended-release pill is taken, often in the morning.

Cilia lining the nasal cavity and nasopharynx beat in unison to propel mucus and debris inferiorly. Cilia lining the respiratory
Maslowich

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Explain the reason for this functional difference, would be: that both movements seek to propel mucus and debris, those who enter through the nasal cavity and the nasopharynx, and the mucus that is produced by the respiratory tract as a defense mechanism against debris that might have entered the tract, towards the esophagus, for expulsion from the body.

Explanation:

The air that we breathe does not simply carry gases that we use for survival; it also carries in it debris, dust particles and microorganisms that may enter the body through it and cause damage to the respiratory tract. In order to protect us from that, our bodies, and especially our upper and lower airways count with a series of protective mechanisms. One of those mechanisms is the production of mucus, both in the upper and lower airways, that traps these unwanted invaders and prevents them from reaching the sensitive and vulnerable lungs. However, this mucus needs to be moved, and for that, the airways count with cilia, brush-like extensions that propel the mucus and the debris, microorganisms and dust, that might have been caught in it, so that they can be expelled. While in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx the need is for this mucus and its passangers to reach the esophagus below, the movement will be downwards, while, those in the respiratory tract, need the mucus to reach the esophagus, whose opening lies superiorly; therefore, the cilia here will propel the mucus upwards, and towards the esophagus.
