*Component items*:
  * *Protector sensory data* (*protector-sensory-data*)
   * Protector - cranial meninges (cranial-meninges -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_JUG 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 -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_TRG LPC.PN.SG.TRG]): visceral sensation of tentorium cerebelli and supratentorial falx cerebri
  * *Protector tonsils* (*protector-tonsils*)
   * Protector - palatine tonsil (palatine-tonsil -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_TRG LPC.PN.SG.TRG]): providing antibodies against illnesses and diseases such as diphtheria
   * Protector - lingual tonsil (lingual-tonsil -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_TRG LPC.PN.SG.TRG]): production of antibodies that are part of natural immune system
   * [http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/what-is-a-pharyngeal-tonsil.htm Protector - 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*)
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_mucosa Protector - hard palate mucous gland] ([BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SPG LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG] -> [HumanMusclesHead hard-palate-mucosal-gland]): produce mucous fluid; lubrication, immunological defence
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_mucosa Protector - soft palate mucous gland] ([BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SPG LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG] -> [HumanMusclesHead soft-palate-mucosal-gland]): produce mucous fluid; lubrication, immunological defence
