What is the charecteristics of an alveolus​
Alla [95]
  • Each alveolus is cup-shaped with very thin walls.
  • It’s surrounded by networks of blood vessels called capillaries that also have thin walls.
  • The oxygen you breathe in diffuses through the alveoli and the capillaries into the blood.
  • The carbon dioxide you breathe out is diffused from the capillaries to the alveoli, up the bronchial tree and out your mouth.
  • The alveoli are just one cell in thickness, which allows the gas exchange of respiration to take place rapidly.

Histamine is a chemical substance released in inflammatory and allergic responses. The histamine H1 receptor on target cells is
grin007 [14]

Answer:

-Histamine binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor.

-When histamine binds to the H1 receptor. the receptor undergoes a conformation change and binds the inactive G protein.

-Once the G protein is active, it binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it.

-Histamine is likely hydrophilic.

When histamine encounters a target cell, it binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor, causing a change in the shape of the receptor. This change in shape allows the G protein to bind to the H1 receptor, causing a GTP molecule to displace a GDP molecule and activating the G protein. The active G protein dissociates from the H1 receptor and binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it. The active phospholipase C triggers a cellular response. The G protein then functions as a GTPase and hydrolyzes the GTP to GDP. The G protein dissociates from the enzyme and is inactive again and ready for reuse.
