Components

(generated)

• Component items*:
• *Protector sensory data* (*protector-sensory-data*)

* Protector - cranial meninges (cranial-meninges -> LPC.PN.SG.JUG): primary function of the meninges and of the cerebrospinal fluid is to protect the central nervous system
* Protector - tentorium cerebelli dura mater visceral receptors (tentorium-cerebelli-dura-matter -> LPC.PN.SG.TRG): visceral sensation of tentorium cerebelli and supratentorial falx cerebri

• *Protector tonsils* (*protector-tonsils*)

* Protector - palatine tonsil (palatine-tonsil -> LPC.PN.SG.TRG): providing antibodies against illnesses and diseases such as diphtheria
* Protector - lingual tonsil (lingual-tonsil -> LPC.PN.SG.TRG): production of antibodies that are part of natural immune system
* [- pharyngeal tonsils] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SPG LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG -> HumanMusclesNeck pharyngeal-tonsils): defense mechanism against air infections, produce white blood cells which are essential for immunity

• *Protector mucous glands* (*protector-mucous-glands*)

* [- hard palate mucous gland] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SPG LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG -> HumanMusclesHead hard-palate-mucosal-gland): produce mucous fluid; lubrication, immunological defence
* [- soft palate mucous gland] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SPG LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG -> HumanMusclesHead soft-palate-mucosal-gland): produce mucous fluid; lubrication, immunological defence
