Which of the following is (are) a feature of lacrimai secretions?
a. Sebum d. Lysozyme
b. Mucus e. Antibodies
c. Peroxide

Introduction:
Lacrimal secretions are secreted from the lacrimal glands. The function of the lacrimal secretions is to lubricate the eyeball surface. It makes the conjunctiva and cornea moisturized. These secretions also provided the nutrients and dissolved the oxygen to the cornea.
Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
Lacrimal secretions are mucus, lysozyme, and antibodies.
Explanation of Solution
Justification/Explanation for the correct answer:
Options (b, d, e) are given that mucus, lysozyme, and antibodies. Lacrimal secretions contain lysozymes, mucus, and antibodies. Lysozyme destroys the bacteria for protecting the surface of the eye. All of these secretions together function to clean and protects the eye by moistening and lubricating the eye. Increased lacrimal secretions resultin the spilling of tears from the eyes that eventually filled the nasal cavities that causes the congestion. Hence, options (b, d, e) are correct.
Explanation for the incorrect answers:
Option (a) is given that sebum. Sebum is the oily and waxy substance that is composed of triglycerides, wax esters, and metabolites of fat-producing cells. It is not included in the lacrimal secretions. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (c) is given that peroxide. Peroxide is not produced by the lacrimal glands in the form of lacrimal secretions. So, it is an incorrect option.
Hence, options (a) and (c) are incorrect.
Therefore, it can be concluded as lacrimal secretions are mucus, lysozyme, and antibodies that moisten and lubricate the eyeball.

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward

First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together.
