a rouleau (rouleaux)

<h3>What is a rouleau?</h3>

Red blood cells (RBCs) can stack up or aggregate into rouleaux (singular: rouleau), which are formed by the distinct discoid shape of vertebrate cells. The discoid RBCs' flat surface offers them a lot of surface area to cling to and make contact with, creating a rouleau. Because of them, the ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) increases when the plasma protein concentration is high. This serves as an all-purpose indicator of sickness.

Infections, multiple myeloma, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, inflammatory and connective tissue disorders, and malignancies are among the illnesses that can result in rouleaux production. As one of the causes of microvascular occlusion in diabetic retinopathy, it also occurs in diabetes mellitus.

Can someone explain how it is possible for a single molecule of steroid hormone to create a significant and lasting response in
Mars2501 [29]

Steroid hormone

  • The cell signaling pathways induced by the steroid hormones regulate specific genes within the cell's DNA. The hormones and receptor complex act as transcription regulators by increasing or decreasing the synthesis of mRNA molecules from specific genes.
  • Steroid hormones are not able to target every cell within the body, so the overall response is slower. They bind to receptors on the cell's surface and the receptors aid in helping the steroid hormones enter the cell.
  • Hormones work by binding to protein receptors either inside target cells or on their plasma membranes. The binding of a steroid hormone forms a hormone-receptor complex that affects gene expression in the nucleus of the target cell.
  • Steroids pass into a cell's nucleus, bind to specific receptors and genes and trigger the cell to make proteins.

What’s the difference between an objects mass and weight. How do I calculate the weight of an object? Which one is affected by g
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. Mass does not change with gravity as weight does due to the act of pulling down on an object making it in fact heavier.
