Because the phospholipid molecules and some proteins are free to move the plasma membrane is said to be?

Because the phospholipid molecules and some proteins are free to move, the plasma membrane is said to be fluid, allowing for flexibility and dynamic changes in its structure. This fluidity is essential for various cellular processes such as cell communication and transport of molecules across the membrane.


What is a substance that lubricates joints?

Synovial fluid is a substance that lubricates joints in the body. It helps reduce friction between bones, allowing for smooth and pain-free movement. Additionally, it provides nutrients to the cartilage in the joint.


What is scrotol?

"Scrotol" is likely a misspelling or a typo. It may have been intended to be "scrotal," which pertains to the scrotum, the pouch of skin that holds the testicles in males. If you have a specific question about the scrotal area, feel free to ask for more information.


What is bursitis and what causes it?

A "Bursa" is plural for "Bursae " which is a fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of slimy fluid (similar in consistency to that of a raw egg white). It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between the bones and allows free movement. Bursae are filled with synovial fluid and are found around most major joints of the body. There are 160 bursae in a human body. Without the bursa, movement would be painful. Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa. They can become inflamed from injury, infection (rare in the shoulder), or due to an underlying rheumatic condition. Examples of bursitis include injury as subtle as lifting a bag of groceries into the car to inflame the shoulder bursa, infection of the bursa in front of the knee from a knee scraping on asphalt, and inflammation of the elbow bursa from gout crystals.


Is there any health risk associated with consuming seminal fluid through oral sex or other means of ingestion?

Consuming seminal fluid through oral sex or other means of ingestion does not pose a significant health risk, as long as the person providing the fluid is free of sexually transmitted infections. However, it is important to note that there is a small risk of contracting infections such as HIV or other STIs if the person providing the fluid is infected. It is recommended to practice safe sex and get tested regularly for STIs to reduce the risk of transmission.
