What do pathogens cause?
Many pathogens enter the body through the mouth and nose.The linings of the mouth, throat and nose produce mucus which can trap bacteria. This mucus is periodically swallowed and the acid in the stomach kills most of the bacteria. So that's how we get colds and why pathogens make us feel icky and ill.
Which lymphoid tissue trap and remove bacteria entering the throat?
The answer your looking for is the Tonsils, which are small masses of lymphoid tissue positioned around the pharynx (which is the tube or cavity, with its surrounding membrane and muscles,that connects the mouth and nasal passages with the esophagus) *** Go to a mirror and open your mouth up wide. You will see the uvula (the dangling thing at the back of your throat). Behind the uvula are your tonsils that stick out kinda from the left and right sides of your throat like small bulges ... *** Hope I helped XD
Why do lungs have small external openings when large openings would let in more air?
There is an advantage to a smaller opening which is that it is easier to trap pathogens like fungal spores and bacteria. This is often cited as to why the lungs don't have openings with a shorter pathway that opens in the chest or back. Some pathogens are trapped in saliva or mucus in the throat but most of it is caught by the mucus in the trachea and bronchi.
What is the special role of the tonsils?
Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system. They are located in the back of the throat. They function to guard against inhaled and ingested pathogens. They have deep pits that catch bacteria and food debris. This is then circulated by the circulatory system and eaten by macrophages. (very big cells) People often have them removed because they become infected and cause problems.
