The First Line of Defence

Question 1 of 11

2

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

( Keratinised, Hardened, Epithelial, Cytoplasmic, Keronised ) Cells are the strong, outermost layer of skin cells in the ( epidermis, epithelium, dermis, deeper tissues ).
They stop pathogens from getting into the body through the skin and get replaced often by new cells.

Explanation

Question 2 of 11

3

In a Cell, the hardens to become . We now call this the Keratinised Cell.

    Keratinocyte
    Cytoplasm
    Keratin
    Kerocyte
    Therocyte
    Plasma
    Cell membrane
    Fribrinogen

Explanation

Question 3 of 11

1

When the skin is damaged, pathogens find it easier to get in.
The body needs a fast way to repair, forming blood clots and scabs.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 4 of 11

2

When damaged cells and torn capillaries are exposed to , they release enzymes like to signal to the protein to enter the broken tissue.

Drag and drop to complete the text.

    air
    water
    thrombin
    glucose
    lipase
    fibrinogen
    fibrin
    keratin

Explanation

Question 5 of 11

2

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

If enough clotting agent is present, the protein becomes that allows red blood cells to be "tied up" and trapped, forming a clot. The clot dries, becoming a protective scab until the skin cells can regrow.

Explanation

Question 6 of 11

2

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

Some parts of the body are unfortunately more open to pathogens. One of these areas is the eye.
Luckily, the eye has ways of getting rid of foreign bodies.
First, capture the pathogen, and then an enzyme called , found in tears, destroys it.

Explanation

Question 7 of 11

1

The respiratory system, leading to the is another part of the body that needs a lot of protection thanks to the open spots of the and nose.

Drag and drop to complete the text.

    lungs
    mouth
    brain
    heart
    eye

Explanation

Question 8 of 11

4

Two types of cells protect the respiratory system.
cells release sticky mucus from their vacuoles. They carry proteins that become mucus upon excretion.
Cells are covered in many (tiny, hair-like structures) that beat back and forth to remove mucus from the respiratory tract.

Drag and drop to complete the text.

    Goblet
    Ciliated Epithelial
    Cilia
    Mucin
    Epithelia
    Mucusin

Explanation

Question 9 of 11

2

What is the role of the mucus? (Tick AT LEAST ONE option)

Select one or more of the following:

  • To trap pathogens and then carry them to the lungs.

  • To trap pathogens so that they can be sneezed or coughed out of the system.

  • To trap pathogens and then carry them to the stomach for digestion.

  • To excrete enzymes that break down pathogens.

Explanation

Question 10 of 11

4

Stomach (Gastric) Acid Contains:

Select one or more of the following:

  • Hydrochloric Acid

  • Citric Acid

  • Sodium Chloride

  • Various Enzymes

  • Potassium Chloride

  • Ethanoic Acid

  • Vanadium Chloride

Explanation

Question 11 of 11

2

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

When we ingest food, we also often ingest pathogens like salmonella.
Gastric acid excretes ( enzymes, bases, alkalies, antibodies ) to destroy these pathogens.
The ( high PH, low PH, high temperature, low temperature ) of the stomach acids can also help to destroy pathogens and speed up enzyme activity.
