Epithelial surfaces provide the first line of defense against infection by the use of several types of mechanisms. One of the chemical mechanisms used by epithelia is:
Joining of epithelial cells by tight junctions
Secretion of antimicrobial peptides by epithelial cells
Production of mucus, tears, or saliva in the nose, eyes, and oral cavity
Movement of mucus by cilia
Peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract
Analysis of a glandular secretion indicates that it contains some DNA, RNA, and membrane components such as phospholipids. What kind of secretion is this and why?
What type of defense is occurring when mucin flows off the epithelium and carries pathogens with it? (mucin provides several types of defense, answer according to this description)

The paper, published in 1978, describes how the serum (blood) folate concentrations differed between two groups of light-skinned people. You will now look at one of the figures from that paper. Figure 3. Folate Levels in Two Groups of People. In one group (“patients”), 10 individuals were exposed to intense UV light for at least 30–60 minutes once or twice a week for three months.
