Smoking Impairs the Ciliated Cells of the Middle Portion of the Respiratory

question 36

Multiple Choice

Smoking impairs the ciliated cells of the middle portion of the respiratory tract.Many analgesic drugs (painkillers) impair peristalsis (the churning motion of the digestive tract) .The result of either of these activities leads to an increased risk of infection in their respective areas.Why?

• A)The actions of the cells in these areas help to propel pathogens out of the area,serving as a part of the physical barrier system.When they are impaired/slowed,bacteria and other pathogens have an easier time adhering to the tissues in the area and causing an infection.
• B)Ciliated cells also line the digestive tract,and these cells secrete strong natural antibacterial compounds.When they are impaired,bacteria can more easily infect these areas.
• C)Chemicals in cigarette smoke and the chemicals in painkillers impair our immune systems,making us generally more predisposed to infections (regardless of the tissue area).
• D)Chemicals in cigarette smoke and the chemicals in painkillers impair the ability of our immune system cells to move into areas that are infected.As such,they can't perform their job of eliminating microbes as well as they should and infections result more easily.
