There are many routes in introducing drugs into the body. Hypodermic injection per se, is introduction of drugs into a part, as into subcutaneous tissues, the vascular tree, or an organ. the prefix hypo means "under" while the latin word derma refers to the "skin". Transdermal administration on the other hand, is the route wherein active ingredients are delivered through dermis or skin only. One example is the transdermal patches.
Thus, hypodermic needle administration is not called transdermal, it is rather called subcutaneous administration.

Why is it important that antibodies have a symmetrical quaternary structure? to enable binding to many different antigens to cre

Morgarella [4.7K]

It is important that antibodies have a symmetrical quaternary structure to create two identical binding sites for antigens. An antibody is a relatively large protein having a Y-shape. Plasma cells produce antibodies which are then used by the immune system to fight off pathogens (e.g. bacteria and virus). The antibody is able to recognize the antigen of the pathogen. It binds with it either to neutralize it directly or “tag” the microbe for future attack by other parts of the immune system.
