What would be the cell membrane of a computer?
In a computer, the closest analogy to a cell membrane would be the firewall or security software that acts as a barrier between the internal system and external threats, regulating the flow of data in and out of the computer.
What would happen if you damage your serous membranes?
Damaging your serous membranes can lead to inflammation and potential infection. This can cause pain, swelling, and impaired function of the affected organ or area. It may also lead to the accumulation of fluid in the cavity lined by the serous membrane.
Which is greater - The extent of membrane polarization at threshold potential or that of the resting membrane potential?
A cell is more depolarized at it's threshold potential than it is at it's resting potential. This is important because a nervous system where a random excitatory post synaptic potential (epsp) would trigger the next neuron would lead to an overly excitable nervous system (btw, this is why caffeine makes you jittery).
Does endoplasmic reticulum contain a membrane?
The endoplasmic recticulum (ER) is located inside the cell, so it would be enclosed within the cell membrane. It contains a system of interconnected channels called cisternae enclosed by the unit membrane. ER is continuous with the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope and therefore is a membranous organelle.
A basilar membrane would be found in?
The basilar membrane is found within the cochlea of the inner ear. It plays a crucial role in converting sound vibrations into neural signals that the brain can interpret as sound. The basilar membrane is a key component of the auditory system's process of hearing.
It is lined with mucous membrane and connets the intenal parts to the external parts of female reproductive system?
That would be the birth canal, otherwise known as the vagina. The external parts are called the vulva.
Which is the correct spelling of specialized membranes that line the interior of the nose?
The correct spelling of the mucous membrane would be: MUCOUS MEMBRANE.(singular: mucosae)
Which antibody class neutralizes viruses in the intestinal tract?
I would assume IgA class antibodies. The intestinal tract is lined with mucous membranes and the IgA class is primarily secreted through mucous.
Why is stomach lined with mucous?
Your stomach acid is made up of enzymes which have the ability to digest flesh. If your stomach didn't continuously produce mucous to line itself, the acid would digest it and all other organs underneath it (assuming your standing upright).
Why would there be mucus in a child?
If you are worried take the child to a doctor with a sample of the stool. Everyone has mucus in their stool to some extent. The bowel is lined with mucous membrane which helps the passage of the stool. Sometimes it becomes excessive if there is an inflammation, or the bowel is irritated (for example by spicy food). If the child is healthy and apart from this the stools are normal and the mucus is not bloodstained, forget about it.

Can you have the flu in your rectum?
Well for the sake of giving a good answer to an interesting question: oddly enough, I'd say yes. Influenza viruses attack our bodies by attaching to the specific cells of our mucous tissue. This type of tissue is in the lining of the respiratory system and also in the lining of the gastrointestinal system. So, it is possible to catch the flu if the virus gets on your mucous tissue regardless of where it is in your body. So, since the rectum is also lined with this type of tissue, it is possible (although unlikely) for a virus particle to enter into your gastrointestinal system at the top and not attach to the mucous tissue cells until it gets to the bottom and then manages to attach to one before it is excreted. In that sense, you would have flu virus particles attached to the cells of your mucous tissue in your rectum. And that could be considered having flu in your rectum. Alternately, if you had the virus on your hand (or an object) and if that managed somehow to touch the mucous tissue at your anus, then virus particles could be introduced and attach directly to the mucous tissue of the rectum near the anus, and then you could also have flu in your rectum. The symptoms would still be of the respiratory flu, not the "stomach flu" (gastroenteritis), however. It is the kind of virus that determines the symptoms, not the location of the introduction of the virus.
How would you define rhnosis?
did you mean rhinitis? rhinitis: an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the nose (usually associated with nasal discharge)commonly known as a runny nose i cannot find anything on rhnosis.
What characteristics does a normal bronchoscopy have?
abnormalities of the bronchial wall such as inflammation, swelling, ulceration, or anatomical abnormalities. The bronchoscopy may also reveal the presence of abnormal substances in the trachea and bronchi. If samples are taken.
Where are frontal sinuses located?
The frontal sinuses are located in the forehead, just above the eyes and behind the eyebrows. They are part of the paranasal sinus system and are lined with mucous membrane that helps humidify and filter the air we breathe.
Why are cilia in the trachea important?
These are tiny "fingers" which move mucous. The mucous is sticky and traps dust, pollen and other particles. Together the cilia move the mucous out of the lungs. If this didn't happen these things trapped in the mucous would cause damage to the lungs and a person would have breathing difficulties over time.
What would happen if semen entered the bloodstream?
If semen were to enter the bloodstream through a break in the skin or mucous membrane, it could potentially introduce sperm cells into the circulatory system. This could lead to an immune response as the body recognizes the sperm as foreign invaders and attacks them. Additionally, there is a risk of infection if the semen was contaminated with bacteria or viruses.
