How do glucose molecules cross a plasma membrane on the apical side of epithelial cells?

Glucose molecules cross the plasma membrane on the apical side of epithelial cells through facilitated diffusion using glucose transporters such as GLUT1 and GLUT2. These transporter proteins help the glucose molecules move down their concentration gradient into the cell.

Their functions contribute to overall cellular homeostasis.


What is mechanism of production of IgA antibodies in human saliva?

IgA antibodies in human saliva are primarily produced by plasma cells located in the mucosal tissues of the salivary glands. These plasma cells secrete dimeric IgA, which is then transported across the epithelial cells of the salivary glands through a process involving the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). After binding to pIgR, the IgA is secreted into saliva as secretory IgA (sIgA), which plays a crucial role in mucosal immunity by neutralizing pathogens and preventing their adherence to mucosal surfaces.
