What are two ways in which tears help to prevent microbial colonization?

Biology
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago

Answer:

1. By washing the eyes to dilute microbes

2. By the action of lysozyme

Explanation:

Tears are released in response to the presence of any irritants in the eyes. The tears are spread on the surface of the eyeball through blinking. In this way, tears keep on washing the surface of the eyes and prevent microbes to infect the same.

Tears also contain the enzyme lysozyme. Lysozyme is an enzyme that can digest the cell walls of some bacteria. Hence, invasion of certain bacterial species is prevented by innate immunity provided by lysozyme of tears.

Which of these shows the correct pathway through the heart's four chambers after it enters from the vena cava?
Kipish [7]

Answer: B. right atrium --> right ventricle --> left atrium --> left ventricle

Explanation: Deoxygenated blood enters the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava and collects it on the right atrium. It is then pumped up through a valve and enters the right ventricle. Then it is transported by the pulmonary artery to the lungs to become oxygen rich blood. From the lungs oxygenated blood enters into the pulmonary vein and back into the heart and goes inside the left atrium. The blood is pumped again through a valve going to the left ventricle and transported to the body through the aorta which distributes oxygen rich blood.
