Answer:

Cortisone is a steroid drug which is used to reduce the inflammation or swelling because it inhibits the release of those substance that cause inflammation and it also reduces the immune response.  

The cells in the body have cell membrane which is made up of phospholipid. Membrane absorb those substance easily which are lipid-soluble. So as cortisone is steroid hormone which is lipid-soluble therefore it easily diffuses through the cell membranes and reaches the cells within the dermis.  

Therefore the lipid solubility of cortisone allows it to travel through the epidermis of skin.

Answer:

Oh gosh, thank you! (I feel like this'll get deleted, so here are the answers: Tony Stark became Iron man when he was in like this military place? I don't know the exact details, but when people were trying to fight him he made a suit to fight back. The suit was surprisingly powerful, so he re-made it to be more appealing, light-weight, and stronger.

All he has to do is change into his suit. He doesn't actually have any superpowers, unless you consider being really smart a super power)

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The endoderm gives rise to the nervous system.

Explanation:

Gastrulation is the process that occurs during the third week of embryonic development and includes transformation of embryonic disc with epiblast and hypoblast into a three layered embryonic disc made up of ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. These are the three primary germ layers and give rise to various tissues and body organs.

Endoderm of the embryo give rise to epithelial lining of gastrointestinal tract (except the buccal cavity), respiratory tracts and other organs such as gallbladder, liver,etc. Mesoderm forms connective tissues such as bones as well as muscles and peritoneum. All the tissues of nervous system and epidermis of skin are derived from ectoderm.
