What else can I help you with?
Does mitosis or meiosis occur in all body tissue's?
Mitosis does not in fact occur in all of the tissues of the body. Mitosis occurs in all tissues of the body that are not sex tissues.
Why does your body use mitosis?
The body uses mitosis for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues. Mitosis allows cells to divide and produce exact copies of themselves, ensuring that the body's cells have the correct number of chromosomes.
Does glandular tissues produce enzymes?
Yes, glandular tissues can produce enzymes. Glandular tissues are specialized to secrete various substances, including enzymes, that help in digestion, metabolism, and other physiological functions in the body. The enzymes produced by glandular tissues play important roles in breaking down food, regulating various biochemical processes, and supporting overall health.
The support tissues in the body consist of what?
The support tissues in the body consist of connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. These tissues provide structure and support for other tissues and organs in the body.
What can cause your body to produce antibodies?
Your body can produce antibodies in response to infections by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. It can also produce antibodies in response to allergens or foreign substances introduced into the body, such as through vaccinations or blood transfusions. Autoimmune disorders can also trigger the production of antibodies that mistakenly target healthy cells or tissues.
Which is released by damaged tissues to stimulate nerve endings and produce the sensation of pain?
Prostaglandins are released by damaged tissues and stimulate nerve endings to produce the sensation of pain. They also cause inflammation and fever as part of the body's immune response to injury.
Local hormones produced by most body tissues are?
Prostaglandins because they come from male prostate glands.
What group of lipids have powerful regulating effects on a variety of tissues?
prostaglandins
Hormone like substance that affects only nearby cells and tissues?
They are called prostaglandins.
Are prostaglandins proteins?
No, prostaglandins are not proteins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds derived from fatty acids. They play a role in inflammation, blood clotting, and other important physiological processes in the body.
What are prostaglandins also called?
Prostaglandins are also called paracrines. Prostaglandins are not hormones, but autocrines or paracrines, which are locally acting messenger molecules. They differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a discrete site but in many places throughout the human body.
How does lipids uses the body?
to store energy fuel, insulate body tissues, cushion and protect organs, produce ketone bodies
What two enzymes produce prostaglandins?
Prostaglandins are primarily produced by two key enzymes: cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). COX-1 is typically expressed in many tissues and is involved in the maintenance of normal physiological functions, while COX-2 is induced during inflammatory responses and is associated with pain and inflammation. Both enzymes convert arachidonic acid, a fatty acid released from cell membrane phospholipids, into prostaglandin H2, the precursor for various prostaglandins.
What are prostaglandins and why are the called the local hormone?
Prostaglandins are modified fatty acids that are produced by a wide range of cells. They generally affect only nearby cells and tissues, and thus are known as "local hormones."
What process is triggered when the chemicals are released from damaged cells after an injury?
There are many, many substances released when tissues are injured, but one of the interesting ones would be prostaglandins. Some other substances of interest that are released would be histamine, antibodies, clotting factors, and a host of others.
What chemical causes inflammation?
Stool (poo) is the chemical substance produced by the body that is associated with the pain of inflammation, as inflammation is pain in your backside.
What are some of the functions prostaglandins have in the human body?
Some of the functions of prostaglandins are: regulates calcium movement, regulates inflammatory mediation and induces labour, just to name a few of its functions.
