What type of epithelium is designed for absorption and secretion and is found throughout much of the GI tract?
The epithelial tissue that absorbs nutrients is simple columnar with goblet cells.
Urinary tract nfection?
A urinary tract infection also called a UTI, is an infection that occurs in the urinary tract of either a female or male. They are much more common in women. A person can get a UTI if bacteria get into the urinary tract. The infection usually begins in the bladder and travels down from there. Symptoms include painful urination, lower belly pain, cloudy urine, and possible nausea.
Why do cilia continually move?
The general why answer would be as regards evolution - which predicts that cilia have evolved to behave as they do because it is, or has been, advantageous to the survival of an organism, or an ancestor of said organism, over other competing organisms.I suspect you probably want to know the details of how as opposed to why cilia do their job.The more subjective why answers would depend on the organism and would tend to refer to evolution also. For example, take the cillia in your wind pipe (trachea) which move in coordination to shift mucus and dirt out of your lungs and down your food pipe (oesophagus) - organisms which have this function would have better blood oxygen levels and be less succeptible to lung related illnesses through having cleaner lungs. Since cillia are found in the tracheas of the vast majority of other animals we can conclude that they evolved in a distant ancestor and provided an advantage to this ancestors survival (the reality is that the cillia we see today probably started at a much lower efficiency, but since higher efficiency cillia will be selected for it is easy to see why they are there today).I hope this answers your question, because I can't really answer the how question without being vague.
What does contamination from genital tract mean?
"Contamination from the genital tract" is a notation that may be found on a urine culture result. If the specimen is not a "clean catch, mid-stream" sample, it's possible that there will be so much bacteria in the sample from the skin outside the genitals that a specific cause for the urinary symptoms cannot be identified.
When a person breathes cigarette smoke cilia are damaged and much more mucus is produced What will the consequences of this?
because the ciliated cell helps to keep the body from inhaleing harmful things but when this organ is damaged the body will start inhaleing substances which could damage the heart and lungs because of the extra mucus which the ciliated cell will find it diffucult to work with.
What 2 structural features of the tracheal lining function to prevent dirt and other particles from entering the lower respiratory tract?
Mucus and cilia. The dirt and other impurities that enter the respiratory tract are trapped by the mucus, in order not to enter the lungs and its structures. But the accumulation of too much mucus in the trachea would impede us from breathing, so the cilia sweep the mucus out of the trachea.
How is mucus moved up the respiratory tract?
Mucus, with dirt and pathogens trapped to it, is wafted up the respiratory tract by cilia, which also line our nasal and tracheal passages. This process is comparable to a conveyor belt motion.
How does cystic fibrosis work?
CF is genetically inherited. Both parents must be carriers, and then there is a 25% chance of being born with CF. CF causes over secretion of mucus in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. In the GI tract, too much mucus will impede nutritional absorption. Food will not be available for the body to use for energy and growth. There are enzyme medications which will help break down the mucus and aide in digestion. The extra mucus in the respiratory tract can cause infections, decreased oxygen intake, shortness of breath and a productive cough. There are aerosol medications that can effectively liquefy the mucus on contact.

Why would someone pee a lot throughout the night?
Cause they drink too much liquid or they might have a urinary tract infection.
What causes too much mucus after eating?
Mucus in the stomach is used for the easy passage of food into the duodenum. In the stomach, mucus helps prevent our stomach acid from leaking out, thus burning our inner organs.
Why does the digestive system have so much mucus?
Some mucus is for cell membrane development to protect the body. Another reason may be due to common cold you could have swallow mucus.
Is there less mucus in organic cows milk than ordinary milk?
No. There's just as much "mucus" in "organic" as in ordinary milk.
How much nasal mucus do you produce with a cold a day?
7
Can swallowing too much mucus cause stomachache?
