Answer: Valves in the veins

Explanation: The flow of the blood inside the body takes place through the veins and arteries. The oxygenated blood from the heart is supplied to the different parts of the body.

The blood flows from the capillaries to the venules and from there to the veins. The blood moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of the smooth muscles in the body.

Most of the blood moves against the gravity so there is a chance that it can backflow so to prevent this there are valves in the veins known as one way valves.

Within an organism it is critical that signals between cells are very specific.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The ligand has only one receptor that it is able to bind to

Explanation:

The shape of the ligand and its corresponding receptor allow there to be specificity. For example, receptors for ligand A would be found on the target immune system cells and not on cardiac muscle cells or skin epithelial cells. Therfore, even though the cardiac muscle cells or the skin epithelial cells would be exposed to ligand A, they would not be able to bind to it and therefore could not react because of the specificity of the receptor of ligand A at that moment
