A.) How could an infection in Cari’s nasal passages and pharynx spread into her sinuses? - Since Cari is a smoker‚ cigarette smoke has paralyzed her cilia and stimulated the goblet cells lining her respiratory passages to secrete excess amounts of mucus. Ducts from the sinuses open into the internal nose providing a passageway for microorganisms to travel into the sinuses. B.) What is the couch reflex?

Unit 4 Case Study 1: Overcoming the Perils of Canoe Lake Identify Threats: Threats of overheating: Lipids released by lamellar granules inhibit evaporation of water from the skin surface‚ thus guarding against dehydration. The skin regulates the body temperature by sweating at its surface and adjusting the flow of blood in the dermis. The body has an internal temperature control mechanism that under normal circumstances regulate the body’s temperature within normal limits. When the body is
