Mucus is the secretion produced by the respiratory system that traps dust and other inhaled foreign particles. It helps to protect the lungs by capturing these particles before they can reach deeper into the respiratory tract.
If Alpha Particles are inhaled, ingested (swallowed), or absorbed into the blood stream, alpha radiation is exposed to sensitive living tissue. The biological damage results in the increased chances of cancer, particularly lung cancer which is caused when alpha emitters are inhaled.
The membranes in the lungs that produce a sticky secretion are called the mucus-producing goblet cells that line the respiratory tract. This mucus serves to trap dust, bacteria, and other particles, helping to keep the airways clear and protecting the lungs from potential infections.
A microgram of plutonium emits approximately 2.2 million alpha particles per second. Over a year, this would amount to around 69 trillion alpha particles. Alpha particles are high-energy and can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, increasing the risk of cancer and other health issues.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the GI tract (among other places). An increase in acetylcholine activity (also known as cholinergic activity) results in an increase in GI motility and secretion, not a decrease.
Pituitary gland
mucus
The secretion that traps dust and other inhaled particles is mucus, produced by mucus-producing cells lining the respiratory tract. This mucus helps to capture and remove particles from the air we breathe, preventing them from reaching deeper into the lungs where they could cause damage or inflammation.
yes , the smoke consist of particles of organic material being inhaled into the lungs, like any other burning material being inhaled its poisness to the human body
Sand traps large particles - such as paper, stones and other foreign objects.
The cilia in the trachea move in a rhythmatic motion and the mucus produced by gland cells which traps foreign unwanted particles, like bacteria etc, is moved up to the pharynx where it is either coughed out or swallowed.
One air filter is located in the engine compartment and is to keep foreign particles out of the intake chamber. The other one is located in the passenger compartment and is to help keep foreign particles and some allergens out of the passenger compartment.
If Alpha Particles are inhaled, ingested (swallowed), or absorbed into the blood stream, alpha radiation is exposed to sensitive living tissue. The biological damage results in the increased chances of cancer, particularly lung cancer which is caused when alpha emitters are inhaled.
To assist in removing dust particles and other unwanted foreign bodies that have entered the air passages.
To assist in removing dust particles and other unwanted foreign bodies that have entered the air passages.
The nose is lined with tiny hairs called cilia. These help to filter the incoming air of dirt and other foreign particles. The idea being to keep these particles out of the lungs.
The membranes in the lungs that produce a sticky secretion are called the mucus-producing goblet cells that line the respiratory tract. This mucus serves to trap dust, bacteria, and other particles, helping to keep the airways clear and protecting the lungs from potential infections.
Wax secretion in the ears traps dirt, dust, and other particles that could carry pathogens. It also has antimicrobial properties that help kill or prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. The sticky nature of earwax also helps to physically block pathogens from entering the ear canal.
