<u>Mucins</u> are water-soluble, complex glycoproteins that are secreted by goblet cells.

Explanation:

Goblet cells, named after their goblet-like shape, are usually found in the epithelium of respiratory and intestinal tracts in the body. Their main function is to produce mucus (primarily made up of mucins), a slippery combination of proteins, water and sugars, that serves three main functions:

  1. The barrier function: By trapping the unwanted/harmful particles that we inhale and preventing them from entering our system.
  2. The protection function: By keeping the hair-like cilia lubricated and moist to remove the harmful particles.
  3. The defence function: Mucus is made up of certain enzymes, antibodies and proteins that act as a defence mechanism for the body.

A unique property of mucins is their capability to form gels - sticky and viscous substances that work both as lubricants as well as defensive chemical barriers in the body.

Choose all of the areas in which the United States invoked the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.
LekaFEV [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the options to answer this question.

What we can do to help you is commenting on the following.

Throughout history, the United States invoked the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine to accomplish some imperialistic and interventionists goals in different Central American and South American countries.

We can set some examples here. For instance, that was the case of the US intervention in the Island of Cuba, in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Hati, and the US presence for so many years in the Panama Canal.

Let's have in mind that the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was originally called for intervening in Latin American countries that could not pay their debt to European creditors.

The message the US wanted to convey to European superpowers that had interests in this region was that from now on, it was going to be the US business to intervene in the Americas. If Europe tried to intervene, it was going to be understood as direct aggression to the United States.
