As with any cellular signal, only cells that are expressing receptors on their cell surface for a particular signal will be effected. In the case of your question, only cells in a womens body that are expressing specific receptors for reproductive hormones will respond to those hormones.


How some cells know to have receptors and others do not is a mystery to science still. It is likely determined by a combination of environmental and genetic cues during development.

Explain why insulin injections are not the course of treatment for all diabetics
nasty-shy [4]
Because during the early stages of type 2 diabetes, the main defect is insulin resistance (that is, glucose cannot get into the cell although there are sufficient insulin production by the pancreas.) What is needed is medications (e.g. metformin) that allow/facilitate the intake of glucose into cells.
There isn't any need for insulin since the pancreas is functioning normal. It's the receptors (glut receptors) causing the problem, that allow glucose into the cells

If hair and nails are made the same way and both contain keratin, why are they different?
natima [27]
This is due to the fact that nails are not actually some useless piece of accessory on your hands.

Nails actually have several components. The nails actually cover something called the keratogenous Matrix, which is the whitish membrane with nerves, and blood vessels that decide on how far nails grow, and is protected by the nail plate which what you can see. The Lunula or the whitish bit of the nail is actually transparent.

On the other hand you have hair which is a verticle object usually used for aesthetic purposes and is an alive thing until it goes above the skin. Hair which is normally aesthetic does have some purposes in different parts of the body. The eyelashes are designed to keep particulates out of the eye, while the axillary hair, is used for thermoregulation (the hair in the armpits and groin are what makes up the axillary).
