Answer:  Cell body, Soma, or Perikaryon.

Explanation:

Neurons can vary in morphology but they keep 4 well-defined regions with distinct functions, they are: the Axon, the Axon terminals, Dendrites, and the cell body. To answer the question we are going to analyze the cell body. Because it contains the nucleus and other organelles, in this region we have the synthesis of practically all neuronal proteins and membranes, which gives it importance. Special transport processes involving microtubules move proteins and membranes from their sites of synthesis in the cell body down the length of the axon to the terminals.

sashaice [31]

Answer: Substances that are protein based cannot cross the lipid cell membrane, but can exert their effect by binding to the proteins based receptors present on the lipid bilayer.

Explanation:

Hormones such as calcitonin , Parathyroid hormone and pituatry horomones are proteins and water soluble.They cannot cross lipid bilayer but can bind to ligand binding protein receptors.

These receptors are protein macromolecules that are specific in nature for specific hormones.

After binding to the receptors, these hormone-recpetor complexes activate second messengers and regulate the downstream effects.
