Does Tuberculosis have a nucleus?
Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria which has no nucleus. It has DNA, but it is not found inside a membrane such as we have in our cells.
Which cells are targeted by mycobactirium tuberculosis?
macrophages
What medication that inhibits the ability of gastric cells to secrete hydrogen ions?
The medications that inhibit the ability of gastric cells to secrete hydrogen ions is a proton pump inhibitor.
How does tuberculosis disease effect healthy cells?
tuberculosis disease affects the cells of the lungs. They infect them with the tuberculosis bacilli making the host vulnerable to other infections in the body.
How do proton pump inhibitors work?
The proton pump inhibitors block the secretion of gastric acid by the gastric parietal cells.
What happens to the cells that enter the G0 stage?
The cells are alive and metabolically active.
What type of acid is secreted by the gastric pits in the stomach?
Gastric juice is secreted from gastric glands, which are located in narrow tube like structures called gastric pits. Gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, pepsinogenand mucus in a healthy adult. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by parietal cells, pepsinogen is secreted by gastric chief cells and mucus is secreted by mucus neck cells. Source: Wikipedia
What are abnormal results of a lung biopsy?
Nodules in the lungs may be due to active infections such as tuberculosis, or may be scars from a previous infection. The lung cells on microscopic examination do not resemble normal cells,
Are Chief cells found in the basal regions of the gastric glands?
Yes they are.
Parietal cells are found in gastric mucosa and secretes hydrochloric acid in stomach. They are also known as Chief cells or oxyntic cells.?
Parietal cells (or oxyntic cells) are epithelium cells found in the gastric mucosa, they secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor (which is required for vitamin B12 absorption). Chief cells are not the same as parietal cells. Chief cells secrete pepsinogen and rennin.
What transition in epithelial type exists at the gastroesophageal junction?
Squamous cells in the oesophagus, to columnar cells in the gastric mucosa.
What do chief cells do?
Chief cells secret pepsinogen and gastric lipase. Pepsin, the activated form of pepsinogen, can break down proteins into peptides and gastric lipase can break down trigylcerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides.
