Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 29RQ
One result of cigarette smoking is paralysis of the cilia that line the respiratory passageways. What function do these cilia serve? Based on what you have read in this chapter, why is it harmful when they no longer beat? What health problems would you expect to arise? How does this explain the hacking cough common among smokers?

- Mucous membranes (pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelia) line most upper respiratory tract structures. Although these membranes filter the air by trapping pathogens in mucus, they are very delicate. Pieces of food passing through the oropharynx and laryngopharynx could damage this type of epithelium.

- Oxygen diffuses from the inhaled air in the alveoli of the lungs, where its concentration is higher, into the cytoplasm of red blood cells, where its concentration is lower. Patients diagnosed with emphysema have damaged alveoli. This results to fewer, larger air spaces instead of many small ones. Explain how this damage can lead to shortness of breath? The surface area of lungs is reduced. Hence, less oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells. The surface area of lungs is increased. Hence, more oxygen can diffuse into the red blood B cells. The surface area of lungs is reduced. Hence, more oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells. The surface area of lungs is increased. Hence, less oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells.arrow_forwardThis video explains some of the biology of the inherited disease, cystic fibrosis, caused by impaired function of a protein that is responsible for facilitated diffusion in the lungs.

Integrins stabilize the cell by attaching the cell's cytoskeleton to the ECM. The integrin protein, which passes through the plasma membrane, interacts with the extracellular matrix outside the cell, and the cytoskeleton inside the cell. What best describes how integrins are formed? a.) Integrins are translated by ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, with their ECM binding site facing the lumen b.) Integrins are translated by ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, with their ECM binding site facing away from the lumen c.)
