Question
Chapter 23, Problem 1AQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How the pathogenic microbes in the mucous membrane of mouth and the gut are controlled under normal circumstances. Describe a circumstance that might encourage pathogenicity in the mucous membrane.
Introduction:
Mucus is a liquid secretion seen in the human body. It is made of soluble glycoproteins and proteins that provide resistance to the microbes by retaining the moisture. The mucous membrane is a layer that is made of mucous covered epithelial cells that intermingle with the external environment. It is one of the physical barriers that prevent certain infections in humans.
