What is the function of type 2 alveoli walls?
function of type 2 alveoli cells is to secrete surfactant.
What is contributing to the decreased alveolar ventilation?
Alveolar ventilation may be decreased by the following factors 1.decrease in pulmonary ventlation 2.high altitude 3.blockage of the respiratory system
How a T cell and B cell work together to produce antibodies?
T cells will first have to be activated by peptide presentation on MHC class II and differentiate into T helper 2 cell and T helper 2 cell will secrete cytokines IL-4, IL-5 to help B cell differentiate into a plasma cell.
What is the number and type of cell produced at the end of meiosis 2?
By the end of meiosis 2 you end up with 4 daughter cells, all of which are haploid (meaning have only one set of chromosomes) these are the sex cells also known as gametes.
What is the number of cells resulting from mitosis?
2 diploid cells
What cells secrete surfactant that reduces the tendency for pulmonary alveoli to collapse?
Type 2 Alveolar cells
What is the function of type 2 alveoli walls?
function of type 2 alveoli cells is to secrete surfactant.
What is a phosphlolipid that lowers the surface tension of the alveoli preventing them from collapsing?
The Great (Type 2) Alveolar cells secrete pulmonary surfactant and prevent the cells from collasping.
What are essential cells of the lung performing its main function are the pulmonary?
The essential cells of the lung that perform its main function are the alveolar cells, including type 1 pneumocytes for gas exchange and type 2 pneumocytes for surfactant production. Other important cells include macrophages for immune defense and ciliated epithelial cells for airway clearance.
How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
What are 2 basic type of cells?
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
What are the parts or organs in the endrocrine system?
Answer = There are six glands in the Endocrine System. They are : 1. Pituitary Gland 2. Adrenal Gland 3. Thyroid Gland 4. Ovary Gland 5. Testes Gland 6. Pancreas Gland
Is it harmful to take insulin if you don't need it?
Your pancreas knows how much insulin it needs to secrete if you take additional insulin insulin receptors in fat cells will become less responsive to it, so your pancreas will need to secrete more for the same effect. This process is the begining of type 2 diabetes. You would need to take additional insulin for a few weeks without any break for this to occure.
How many compound are there pancreas secrete?
2
What is a possible cause of non-insulin diabetes?
I'm not too sure what you mean exactly, I'm going to give you two replies: Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes is when the cells that ought to secrete insulin, the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, are not working or not present. Tablets taken for Type 2 diabetes will not work for Type 1 diabetics because they work by stimulating sluggish cells in the pancreas. If the cells are not there, you can't stimulate them to work. Some people become diabetic after a virus damages the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Trauma to the pancreas can do it as well, for instance, in a car accident. And some people are born with it. Type 2 Diabetes In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas contains the Islets of Langerhans that secrete insulin, but they are not producing sufficient insulin for the body's needs. Some women develop this in pregnancy, but the most common cause is obesity. If people slimmed to a normal weight, many would find that their Type 2 diabetes either goes away or else can be controlled by careful attention to what they eat. A Type 1 diabetic is usually quite thin and the opposite tends to be true for Type 2 diabetes. In both types, genes and race play a part. A lot of people from Asian origin get diabetes.
What is contributing to the decreased alveolar ventilation?
Alveolar ventilation may be decreased by the following factors 1.decrease in pulmonary ventlation 2.high altitude 3.blockage of the respiratory system
Eggs and sperm are a type of these?
Sex cells Also haploid cells with 1/2 the genes of an individual.
