This is another mechanism used to excrete solutes. Secretion may be either passive or active. Secretions include organic bases‚ which occur in the pars recta of the proximal tubule. Secretions of weak bases and two weak acids occur passively. Other mechanisms

peptic ulcer disease puts people at higher risk for this disease. Also those receiving radiation therapy could develop GI ulcers. Some substance as corticosteroids‚ theophylline‚ and caffeine can cause gastroduodenal ulceration by altering gastric secretion‚ causing damage to mucosa and hinder the healing process. More than 6 million people in the United States every year are affected by this disease. The rate of H.pylori infection for duodenal ulcers in the United States is less than 75% for people

Airway mucus is part of inborn immunity that facilitates the elimination of inhaled microorganisms. Antibacterial mechanisms such as lysozymes and defensins‚ which are contained in airway mucus‚ are key components of this inborn immunity (Gerson et al. 2000). While this defense mechanisms remains prevalent in cystic fibrosis patients it appears to be compromised in that it allows the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in airway mucus. The fact that people with cystic fibrosis are equally exposed to
