Answer:

Hormones may be defined as the chemical messenger of the body. Hormones can be released into the particular duct or may directly release into the blood stream.

The cells can show different response to the hormone even after having the same receptor. This might occur because the single hormone can have different effects depending on the traget cells. They might have different receptors for the hormones and may also differ due to the different signal transduction pathways.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Hormone is responsible to mediate change in the cell by binding to the hormonal receptor present on the cell. So hormone only acts on the cells which have the specific receptor for that hormone.

One cell can have many receptors for a single hormone which defines the sensitivity of cell for the hormone which is responsible for generating appropriated cellular response in the cell.  

So the number of receptors on the cell can contribute to different responses of cells having the same hormonal receptor. Every cell also have unique transduction pathway which is also responsible for different response of cell.

Which type of movement is characteristic of the articulation between the tibia and fibula with the talus?
jonny [76]

Solution:

The function and mobility of each joint depends on its anatomical design. Joints that permit no movement or slight movement are common in the axial skeleton where basic structural support and protection  is expected. Joints that are freely moveable are common in the appendicular skeleton where mobility is required. Is known as articulation.

The tibial collateral ligament reinforces the medial side of the knee joint and the fibular collateral ligament reinforces the lateral side of the knee joint. Two popliteal ligaments reinforce the posterior side of the knee joint.
