Planarians are triploblastic acoelomates, meaning they have three tissue layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm (Newmark and Alvarado, 2001). Their epidermal layer that surrounds the planarian is ciliated on the ventral surface (Newmark and Alvarado, 2001). Underneath the epidermal layer and the basal lamina, followed by a complex wall musculature that surrounds the body. The complex wall muscle is composed of the circular diagonal and muscle fibers (Newmark and Alvarado, 2001). The nervous…

Mrs. White’s COPD is triggered mainly by her history of cigarette smoking. The noxious substances in cigarette smoke initiate the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor-a (TNF-a) and release of inflammatory mediators by macrophages and epithelial cells. In fact, the activated cells in COPD inflammation secrete a number of mediators. These include a variety of active proteinases, toxic peptides, and oxidants which damage lung structures and sustain inflammatory processes (_____). The resulting…

the surface of a cell or to move a single cell. One area where cilia are abundant is the respiratory tract, there are more than a billion per square centimetre, and this is because dust and dirt can easily be breathed in. The cilia sweep and move mucus up and to the throat where it will eventually be removed from the body and cause no harm. They are also present in the oviduct walls to move the egg down the oviduct itself, they use a repetitive motion to cause a current of flow in the areas that…
