Question I. Ásvør, a 21-year-old lion tamer, stepped on a piece of glass, which partially cut through the long plantar ligament of her right foot on April 1, 2015. But luckily, her well-functioning nonimmunocompromised immune system was able to eliminate all of her wound-contaminating bacteria – the last one of them being killed on April 21, 2015. Which of the 40 below-named entities were likely to participate in this bacteria-elimination process? Assess the following statements (1-8) as either factually correct (= “true”) or incorrect (= “false”) based on whether they describe an entity which was likely to participate in the bacteria-elimination process in the given scenario (= “true”), or unlikely to participate in the bacteria-elimination process in the given scenario (= “false”)]:

1. Neurons

2. Hepatocytes

3. Thyroid Gland Cells

4. Podocytes in Bowman's Capsule

5. Low pH in stomach

6. Normal Skin Flora

7. Normal Gut Flora

8. Reverse Transcriptase

Explanation / Answer

1.Neurons= True

2. Hepatocytes= True.

3. Thyroid gland cells = False

4. Podocytes = False.

5. Low pH = True.

6. Normal skin flora= False.

7. Normal gut flora = True.

8.Reverse transcriptase = false.

Neurons are known to send signals in response to any change in internal or external environment.

Hepatocytes, are involved in detoxification.

Low pH makes an acidic medium which can kill bacteria.

Normal gut flora can inhibit growth of other types of bacteria in their vicinity.
