The cells in the retina and the cells that line your air-passages have only one thing in common: they are often seen in close proximity to each other in homework questions about what the relationship between retinal cells and air-passage cells might be.

What organelles do cells that line the respiratory passages have?
They are abundant in plasma membranes and cilia/flagellaCilia
What cells carry out mitosis?
Only somatic/autosomal cells. Sex cells or cells of the germ line undergo meiosis.
Would a skin cell mutation on your hand affect your offspring?
No. Skin cells are somatic cells. Your offspring come from gametes which are made by germ line cells. Only mutations in germ line cells or your gametes are passed on to your offspring.
What type of cells lines organs?
Epithelial cells line the inner surface of organs.
Kupffer cells are phagocytes located in the?
Kupffer cells are phagocytes which line the sinusoids of the liver.
What are cells that line your breathing passages that move rapidly back and forth?
these are called cilia cells, and they trap the dust and stuff (it's trapped by mucus) that enters your breathing passages. this is then moved by the action of the cells up the breathing passages and into the back of the throat and nose where it can be swallowed
What organelles do cells that line the respiratory passages have?
They are abundant in plasma membranes and cilia/flagellaCilia
Why is the retina the first membrane of the eye?
because it has millions of nervous cells that line its interior that transform the stimuli into info captured by the brain, brought by the optic nerve. without the retina being the first layer, the info, would not make it to the brain ('cause it wouldn't pass through the other layers)
What are the most common cells that line the surface of the alveoli and therefore associatedwith the exchange of gases within the lungs?
Type 1 alveolar cells
What is the retina made up of?
the innermost light-sensitive membrane covering the back wall of the eyeball; it is continuous with the optic nerve6 layers of cells that line the back of the eyeball.One layer is sensitive to light and is the first step in turning light into vision.These cells are a part of your brain.The retina is the layer of cells in the back of the eyes responsible for detecting light, which in turn allows you to see. The specific cells responsible for detecting light are the photoreceptors, more commonly referred to as rods and cones.
What is the pathway that light travels as it enters the eye?
Light bounces off the leaf, enabling the eye to detect its color and shape as light also enters the retina.
What are Floating white spots in vision after blowing nose?
Blowing the nose increases blood pressure inside the head and eyes. The spots where the arterioles are dilated in front of the retina elicits direct stimulation of the photoreceptor cells which line the retina, causing the eye to send signals to the brain. So these white spots, which are technically called flashes are the interpretation that the brain makes of this signal. Flashes are common, and may increase in some conditions, such as migraine. If they increase in intensity and persistence, they may be abnormal, possibly indicating a tear in the retina. Answer by Renato M.E.

What cells line the ventricle of the brain?
Ependymal cells
What cells line the ventricles of the brain?
ependymal cells
What do the cells do that line your internal organs?
epithelial cells
What is the first line of defense of a pathogen?
The first line of defense against a pathogen would be barriers. Ex. The skin, Breathing Passages, and The Mouth and stomach.
What are the cells that line the circulatory system?
red blood cells
