Answer:

Dexamethasone drug in an individual lowers the level of plasma cortisol by lowering the release of Adrenocorticotropic hormone from the anterior lobe of pituitary gland.But in case of people suffering from Cushing syndrome dose of dexamethasone does not lowers the plasma cortisol level.

Explanation:

Dexamethasone is a synthetic Glucocorticoid.As a result it"s functions will be analogous to that of Glucocorticoid.Dexamethasone generally stimulate the rate of Gluconeogenesis thus increasing the production of glucose.As a result the plasma glucose level is elevated.

sergiy2304 [10]

The human cell has the largest surface area to volume ratio is Sperm cell or spermatozoa  and its ratio is 1.55

<u>Explanation:</u>

Spermatozoa is a uni-flagellar motile sperm cell that basically determines the sex of an offspring. It moves from the haploid male gamete,its contributes in 1/2 nuclear genetic information to diploid.

The surface area of sperm cell is measured by micro-metric method or electron mircographs using stereo-logical method. While the volume will be measured by stereology or radio label volume exclusion method. The volume and surface area inversely proportional to cell size.
