Glycocalcyx plays a role in immunity, transplant compatibility, cell adhesion, and protection

<h3>What is Glycocalcyx ?</h3>

The cell membranes of bacteria, epithelial cells, and other cells are covered in a glycoprotein and glycolipid layer called the glycocalyx, also referred to as the pericellular matrix. Martinez-Palomo first identified the glycocalyx, a cell covering seen on animal cells, in 1970.

  • One of the glycocalyx's roles is to restrict molecules' access to the EC membrane. Another is to dissipate fluid shear stress far from the membrane. A third function is the possibility of transmitting mechanical forces into the cell via GAG and core protein components.

A student visits the beach during a very hot day. She steps on the sand and jumps because it is so hot
Mama L [17]

Answer:

A student visits the beach during a very hot day. She steps on the sand and jumps because it is so hot as a result of "conduction."

Explanation:

The process of the conduction happens because of the flow of kinetic energy from one molecule to the other by direct contact.  When she first steps the beach on the hot sand, after that the energy moves from the hot sand to the cooler body by conduction. While walking on the sand for few time, the feet will feel hot. The movement of the heat takes place from the hot sand to the bottom of the feet by conduction. When the objects come in contact with each other the heat transfers as a result of conduction.

Not only are the kidneys considered organs of excretion, but they have an endocrine function as well as an important role in the
stira [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

One of the edocrine processes the kidney is involved in is called the RAAS (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System) which is a signaling pathway involved in blood pressure control. It involves a number of hormones:

Angiotensinogen is produced by the liver in response tovarious inflammatory proteins

Renin is a protease produced by the kidneys in response tohypotension,

Angiotensin II increases blood pressure via a number of mechanisms:

Aldosterone acts to  increase reabsorption of Na+ and water and increase elimination of K+ and H+ in the distal tubules of the kidneys for ion concentration maintenance
