Prostaglandin similarity with hormones is in the effect they achieve by binding to the receptors. Their effects are mediated by paracrine or autocrine mechanisms. Another hormone characteristic is the ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, producing cAMP as the second messenger.

On the other hand, prostaglandins differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a specific place but in many different places throughout the body. Also, the metabolic degradation of prostaglandins is very rapid.

When comparing maxillary and mandibular lateral incisors the mandibular incisor crown is wider mesio-distally than the mandibula

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Mammalian dentition is characterized by heterodonty, in which both the upper and lower teeth are differentiated morphologically into four types: flat, chisel-shaped incisors, conical canines, bicuspid premolars and multicuspid molars in the mesiodistal direction.

Explanation:.

The mesiodistal crown:dimension is the smallest of any maxillary teeth.The mesiodistal measurement of the pulp chamber is wider compared to the labiopalatal one. The periphery of the socket often dips down palatally, labially, mesially and distally to accommodate the shape of the root.

Maxillary central incisor:The general shape is similar to maxillary central incisor except that they are shorter and narrower. It has the most cervically located contact area of any incisor. The mesioincisal and distoincisal angles are more rounded than the corresponding angles of maxillary central incisor.

Permanent mandibular central incisor:The crown dimensions are the smallest of any tooth, it has bilaterally symmetrical crown, and the line angles are the sharpest of any tooth.It shows the shallowest labial developmental grooves, smoothest lingual surface contour and the least developed cingulum.

How is glucose transported to different cells? And how do you know?

laiz [17]

Answer:

Whether a cell uses facilitated diffusion or active transport depends on the specific needs of the cell. For example, the sugar glucose is transported by active transport from the gut into intestinal epithelial cells, but by facilitated diffusion across the membrane of red blood cells.
