Which type of epithelium lines the inferior portions of the pharynx?

Biology
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The type of epithelium that lines the inferior portions of the pharynx is stratified squamous epithelium.

Explanation:

The pharynx is a structure made up of muscles and mucous membranes -like many internal organs- that is part of the respiratory system and is an intermediate step in the digestive tract.

This structure has two portions:

  • <em>Upper or nasopharynx </em>
  • <em>Lower, or oropharynx, in contact with the airways. </em>

Some even propose that the borderline surface between the pharynx and larynx can be called the laryngopharynx, due to its tissue structure.

The lower portion of the pharynx is covered by a squamous stratified epithelium, the inner layers of which rest on a basal lamina. The more superficial layers provide protection to the interior of the pharynx against friction, in addition to remaining lubricated by mucous secretion at that level.

kkurt [141]

Answer: Excess ethanol metabolism leads to an accumulation of NADH that inhibits fatty acid metabolism.

Fatty acid metabolism is often activated by limited or absence of NADH, however ethanol (the main constituent of most alcoholic drinks) on metabolism yields several molecules of NADH which rather stimulates belly/abdominal fat production often referred to as "beer gut".
