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.
Packaged food in the United States must have a nutrition label, but there is not a requirement that genetically modified food be labeled as such. Should food producers and distributers be required to identify products made from genetically modified plants or livestock?
1.Yes. I do not want to purchase or eat food that is not natural, and should be given all the information I need to make that choice for myself. 2.No. There is no scientific evidence that genetically modified organisms are harmful to humans. The technology allows us to better produce foods without the use of pesticides and herbicides, which can be harmful to human health. Therefore, it is not worth the added cost of requiring new labeling
