Ingaba i-mucus imbi njengoko ucinga? Masifunde i-AZ ngayo!

Xa ucinga "nge-mucus," mhlawumbi ucinga ngezinto ezifana nempumlo exineneyo kunye ne-mucus etyebileyo enamathela emqaleni wakho, akunjalo? Unokucinga nge-mucus njengento nje ephazamisayo, into ekufuneka isuswe emzimbeni wakho ngokukhawuleza. Kodwa, ubusazi ukuba le mucus ngokwenene yinxalenye ebaluleke kakhulu, efana ne-superhero yokuzikhusela komzimba wethu? Makhe sithethe ngale mucus namhlanje, akunjalo?

Yintoni kanye kanye i-mucus?

Ngamafutshane, i-mucus lulwelo olujiyileyo nolutyibilikayo olufumaneka ngaphakathi emizimbeni yethu. Lufana nejeli. Lugubungela inkqubo yethu yokuphefumla (umz. impumlo, umphimbo, imiphunga), inkqubo yokwetyisa (umz. amathumbu), inkqubo yomchamo, kunye nenkqubo yokuzala.

Cinga ngayo njengesikhuselo esikhuselayo ngaphakathi emzimbeni wethu. Esi sikhuselo sithintela iintsholongwane eziyingozi (iintsholongwane) ukuba zingangeni emzimbeni. Sikwanceda umzimba wethu ukuba ufunxe izinto ezilungileyo esizidingayo, njengeoksijini kunye nezondlo. Enye into kukuba i-mucus igcina amalungu omzimba wethu emanzi kwaye etyibilika. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu.

Usenokuba ukhe weva nge-phlegm njenge-"phlegm/sputum." Sihlala sicinga nge-phlegm xa sinempumlo egobhozayo okanye umphimbo oxineneyo. Kodwa inyani yile, i-phlegm yinxalenye ebaluleke kakhulu kwinkqubo yethu yokuzikhusela . Ihlala ilwela ukusikhusela kwizifo.

Yeyiphi inkonzo enikezelwa yi-mucus emizimbeni yethu?

Ngoku mhlawumbi uyaqonda ukuba i-mucus ayisiyonto nje. Jonga indlela i-mucus eyenzayo ngayo emizimbeni yethu:

• Ithintela iintsholongwane nezinto eziyingozi: I-mucus ithintela izinto eziyingozi ezifana neentsholongwane nothuli ukuba zingangeni emizimbeni yethu, njengomlindi wesango.
• Indawo yokugcina ii-antibodies: I-Mucus ineproteni ekhethekileyo ebizwa ngokuba yi-"Antibodies." Ezi zithintela iintsholongwane ezingena emzimbeni kwaye zizichonge kwiiseli zomzimba ukuze zitshabalalise.
• Ibamba kwaye ikhuphe izinto eziyingozi: Khawuthelekelele uhamba endleleni enothuli. Emva koko amasuntswana othuli angena empumlweni yakho anamathela kule mucus, aze aphume empumlweni yakho ngokukhawuleza. Ngendlela efanayo, umucus usinceda ukubamba nokukhupha izinto eziyingozi emizimbeni yethu.
• Ifumisa iMucosa: IMucus inceda ukugcina iimembrane ezithambileyo ( i-mucosal) ezivulekela ngaphandle kwemizimba yethu (njengempumlo nomlomo) zimanzi.
• Yenza i-mucous membranes ityibilike: Oku kubaluleke kakhulu. Umzekelo, ukutya esikutyayo kuhamba lula emathunjini ngenxa yokuba le mucus ityibilika. Ngokufanayo, kwinkqubo yokuzala yabasetyhini, i-cervical mucus inceda ekulungiseleleni indlela yokuba isidoda sifikelele kwiqanda.

Yenziwa njani le ncindi? Ivela phi?

Ucinga ukuba le mucus ivela phi? Le mucus yenziwa luhlobo oluthile lweseli kwi-mucous membrane yethu `(Mucosa). Zibizwa ngokuba `(iiseli zeGoblet)`. Ezi seli zibizwa ngaloo ndlela kuba zimile njengeglasi encinci. Ezi seli kunye nezinye iiseli ziyadibana ukuze zenze `(iMucin)`, eyona nto iphambili kwi-mucus.

Le mucus ifumaneka kwezi ndawo emzimbeni wethu:

• Izitho zengqondo: amehlo, iindlebe, umlomo, impumlo.
• Inkqubo yokuphefumla: imiphunga, i-trachea.
• Inkqubo yokugaya ukutya: isisu, amathumbu.
• Inkqubo yomchamo: isinyi, urethra.
• Inkqubo yokuzala yabasetyhini.
• Inkqubo yokuzala yamadoda.

Yintoni eneneni equlethwe yi-mucus?

Izinto ezikwi-mucus ziyenza ibe nkulu kwaye ithambile, kwaye zisinceda sikhuseleke kwiintsholongwane. Makhe sijonge ukuba yintoni ekwi-mucus:

• Amanzi: I-Mucus ikakhulu ngamanzi.
• Ii-Electrolytes: Iityuwa ezifunekayo ukuze umzimba usebenze.
• Iienzymes: Iienzymes ezinceda ekutshabalaliseni iintsholongwane.
• Ii-antibodies (Immunoglobulins): Iiproteni ezilwa neentsholongwane.
• Iiseli zegazi ezimhlophe: La ngamajoni asemzimbeni wethu. Alwa neentsholongwane.
• I-Mucin: Olu luhlobo olukhethekileyo lweproteni. Yile mucin eyenza i-mucus ibe nokuqina okufana nejeli.

Ihlala injani i-mucus? Ingaba iyatshintsha umbala?

Ngokwesiqhelo, i-mucus yomntu ophilileyo icacile, ikhupha amanzi kancinci, kwaye iyatyibilika. Kodwa xa unesifo somkhuhlane okanye usulelo olufana ne-sinusitis, i-mucus ephuma empumlweni nasemqaleni inokuba nkulu, inamathele, kwaye ibe nombala omhlophe okhrim.

Zininzi izizathu zokuba i-mucus itshintshe umbala. Izinto ezifana neeseli ezifileyo, iintsholongwane, kunye nomsi wecuba zinokutshintsha umbala xa ziqokelelana kwi-mucus. Nantsi into ethethwa yile mibala:

• Umhlophe, ukhilimu, okanye umthubi okhanyayo: Ukuba i-mucus yakho ityebile kwaye lo mbala, kuthetha ukuba ulwa nomkhuhlane okanye olunye usulelo lwentsholongwane. Lo mbala kunye nokuqina kuvela kwiiseli zakho zomzimba ezilwa neentsholongwane.
• Umthubi oqaqambileyo okanye oluhlaza: Oku kukwaluphawu losulelo. Ngokuxhomekeke kwezinye iimpawu onazo (umz. intloko ebuhlungu, iintlungu zobuso) kunye nokuba sele unexesha elingakanani na esi sifo, isenokuba sisifo se-sinusitis okanye usulelo lwebhaktheriya.
• Ubomvu okanye upinki: I-mucus ingabonakala ipinki okanye inemigca ebomvu ukuba kukho igazi elincinci kuyo. Oku kunokwenzeka ukuba ulusu olungaphakathi kwempumlo lomile kwaye lonakele. Imithambo yegazi emincinci engaphakathi kwempumlo nayo ingaqhuma, nto leyo ebangela ukuba igazi liqokelele kwi-mucus.
• Umbala omdaka:Ungcoliseko lomoya kunye nokutshaya kunokubangela le mfuxu emdaka. Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha inokuba luphawu losulelo.
• Umnyama: Oku kusenokuba ngenxa yento oyiphefumlileyo (umz. umsi wamalahle). Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha inokuba luphawu losulelo oluyingozi lwefungus.

Eyona nto ibalulekileyo: Awunakwazi ukubona ukuba sisiphi isifo onaso ngokujonga nje umbala we-mucus yakho. Ukuba i-mucus yakho imnyama (mnyama, imdaka), okanye nayiphi na enye imibala oyikrokrelayo, ingakumbi ukuba unezinye iimpawu ezifana neentlungu zobuso okanye iintloko ezibuhlungu, ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kufuneka ubone ugqirha.

Ngoko ke, umbala we-mucus ophilileyo ngowuphi?

Ukuba awunaso isifo, i-mucus yakho idla ngokuba icacile. I-mucus etyebileyo, ekhrimu, emthubi, okanye eluhlaza ingathetha ukuba unesifo. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba une-allergy, usenokuba ne-mucus ecacileyo nephuma empumlweni yakho.

Ziziphi izifo ezichaphazela i-mucous membranes?

Nantoni na ebangela ukudumba naphi na emzimbeni wethu okanye evuselela amasosha omzimba wethu inokubangela utshintsho kubungakanani, umbala, kunye nobukhulu be-mucus. Iimeko zehomoni kunye nezemfuza nazo zinokuchaphazela oku. Ezinye iimeko ezinokuchaphazela i-mucus ziquka:

• Izifo: I-Sinusitis okanye izifo zokuphefumla zezona zinto zixhaphakileyo ezibangela ukuveliswa kwe-mucus empumlweni nasemqaleni.
• Izinto ezibangela ukunganyamezelani okanye ukucaphuka: Xa izinto ezibangela ukunganyamezelani okanye ezinye izinto ezibangela ukunganyamezelani zingena kwinkqubo yokuphefumla, kunokuveliswa i-mucus ecacileyo ngakumbi.
• Izifo zemiphunga: Izifo zemiphunga ezingapheliyo ezifana ne-bronchiectasis kunye nesifo semiphunga esingapheliyo (COPD) zinokubangela ukuba i-mucus iqokeleleke xa imiphunga kunye neendlela zomoya zonakalisiwe.
• I-Cystic fibrosis: Esi sisifo semfuza esibangela ukuba i-pancreas kunye nemiphunga ivelise i-mucus etyebileyo nenamathelayo.
• Iingxaki zenkqubo yokugaya ukutya: Iimeko ezifana ne-diverticulitis, isifo samathumbu esivuthayo (IBD), i-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nayo nayiphi na into evuselela inkqubo yokugaya ukutya inokubangela i-mucus esitulweni.
• Iingxaki zehomoni: Ukuya exesheni kunye namanqanaba aphantsi e-estrogen kunokunciphisa ubungakanani be-mucus kwinkqubo yokuzala. Oku kunokukhokelela ekunciphiseni ukuzala kunye nokoma kwesitho sangasese sowesifazane.
• Umhlaza: Ezinye iintlobo zomhlaza, ezifana ne-mucinous carcinomas, zinokuvela kwi-mucin.

Yintoni onokuyenza ukuze ulahle i-sebum engaphezulu?

Ixesha elininzi, kufuneka ujongane nale mucus igqithisileyo xa ugula. Umzimba uzama ukukhupha iintsholongwane kunye neeseli zomzimba ezifileyo. Nazi ezinye zezinto ezinokunceda ukunciphisa le mucus:

• Izinto zokukhupha iincindi:Ezi zinceda ekunciphiseni ulwelo olungqindilili nolususa esifubeni.
• Ukuhlamba impumlo: Oku kunokunceda ukuqhekeza i-mucus empumlweni nakwimingxuma ye-sinus. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka ulandele imiyalelo ngononophelo ukuze uyisebenzise ngokukhuselekileyo.
• Izinto zokunciphisa ukuxinana: La mayeza okanye izitshizi zinokunciphisa okwethutyana ukudumba kunye ne-mucus empumlweni nasemqaleni.
• Ii-Antihistamines: Ezi zinceda ekumiseni ukuveliswa kakhulu kwe-mucus ngenxa ye-allergies okanye ukulawula imeko.
• I-Mucolytics: Ezi zisetyenziselwa ukunyanga izifo zemiphunga ezingapheliyo ezifana ne-cystic fibrosis.

Linini ixesha ekufuneka ubone ugqirha ngalo?

Ukuba i-phlegm yakho inombala ongaqhelekanga (njengomthubi oqaqambileyo okanye oluhlaza), ityebile kakhulu, okanye ibonakala ngathi inegazi, ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kufuneka ubone ugqirha. Ugqirha wakho angakujonga ukuba unayo na intsholongwane efuna unyango.

Ngaba "iMucus" kunye "nePhlegm" zizinto ezifanayo?

"I-Phlegm" yinto esiyibiza ngokuba yi-"phlegm emqaleni" okanye "phlegm esifubeni." Olu luhlobo lwe-mucus. Kodwa ludla ngokuvela kwiindawo ezisezantsi zenkqubo yethu yokuphefumla (njengemiphunga). Ijiyile kune-mucus eqhelekileyo kuba ilwa nosulelo.

Kungcono ukuginya umhluzi ophuma emqaleni okanye ukuwukhafula?

Xa une-mucus emqaleni, ukuyiginya akuyi kuba buhlungu. Kodwa abanye abantu banokukhohlela okanye bave iqhuma emqaleni xa beyiginya. Okanye, abanye abantu banokukufumanisa "kungamnandi." Ngoko ke, akukho nto imbi ngokufutha impumlo yakho - kodwa kufuneka ukwenze oko ngokuqwalasela abanye.

Ukuba kunokwenzeka, beka i-mucus kwithishu okanye kwi-napkin uze uyilahle emgqomeni. Qiniseka ukuba uhlamba izandla zakho kakuhle ngesepha namanzi emva koko. Ukuba i-tissue ayifumaneki, yiba kude kancinci nabanye abantu kwaye uyikhuphe i-mucus.

Okokugqibela, izinto ekufuneka uzikhumbule

Ngoku uyazi ukuba i-mucus yiqhawe elingaxatyiswanga lenkqubo yethu yokuzikhusela komzimba. Nangona ingabonakala ngathi iyasiphazamisa xa sigula, le mucus esemqaleni wethu, yonke, ilwela wena. Le mucus isebenza rhoqo ukukhusela umzimba wakho kwiintsholongwane nezinye izinto ezinokukulimaza.
