Listed under are the 5 different type of cells found in the epidermis and their description:
1. Stem cells
These are what you call undifferentiated cells. These are cells found in the stratum basale, which is the deapest layer of the epidermis. These cells divide to create keratinocytes.
2. Keratinocytes
The make up the majority of the cells in the epidermis. They synthesize keratin which are proteins that make up your hair, skin, and nails. They can also be found in other organs inside your body.
3. Melanocytes
These cells can only be found in the stratum basale. They synthesize melanin with a brown to black pigment. These dark pigments serves as protection for the skin from harmful UV rays.
4.Merkel cells
Merkel cells are also known as <em>tactile cells</em>. They are the sensory receptor for touch. Merkel cells and the nerve fiber together are called the Merkel disc.
5. Dentritic cells
They are also known as <em>Langerhans cells</em>. They can be found in two layers of the epidermis: the stratum spinosm; and stratum granulosm. They are what you call macrophages that come from the bone marrow. They serve as immune cells that provide protection against toxins, microbes and other pathogens that try to penetrate the skin.
Hope you find some information above that will help you.
The question is incomplete. Th ecomplete question is as following:
All of the following protect the skin and mucous membranes from infection EXCEPT
A) multiple layers of cells.
B) tears.
C) saliva.
D) HCl.
E) the "ciliary escalator."
Answer: D) HCl.
Explanation:
- The epidermis, the outer layer of the skin provides waterproofing and serves as a barrier to infection and other laers also sustain any type of injury.
- Tears wash out foreign bodies which enter the eye. In addition, tears contain a substance called lysozyme which has an antibacterial function and works to prevent microbial invasion and infection.
- Saliva protects against infection, especially via the innate immune system. This mechanism is an important first-line protection against bacterial and viral infection
- The mucociliar escalator is within the conducting airways and is composed of mucus and cilia that transfer the mucus up and out of the lungs where it can be removed by coughing or swallowing,
Whereas HCL helps in the digestion process.
Hence, the correct option is D.
A chemical property is a property of a substance that is observed when a substance undergoes a chemical change. Some chemical properties are toxicity, flammability, heat combustion, acidity/basicity, solubility.
Answer:
Grupa chemików z Uniwersytetu Środkowej Florydy pod kierownictwem profesora Fernando Uribe-Romo, odkryła sposób zamiany dwutlenku węgla w paliwo i tlen — naśladując naturalne procesy w jakich rośliny konsumują CO2, czyli fotosyntezę, która z dwutlenku węgla i wody produkuje węglowodany czyli paliwo dla organizmów żywych.
