Answer:
There are many receptors for thyroxine on different target cells (tissues), so its effect can be huge
Explanation:
Target cell for a certain hormone is a cell that have hormone receptor specific for that hormone. There are two main types of receptors on target cell:
- cell membrane receptors (also called trans membrane receptors)-usually for peptide hormones, such as insulin
- intracellular receptors (also called nuclear receptors)-usually for steroid hormones, such as testosterone.
Hormone binding to the receptor leads to the signal cascade within the cell, which results in cell response.
Receptors for thyroid hormones are nuclear receptors.
Answer:
Neonatal diabetes is often mistaken as type 1 diabetes, which is much more common. But type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children older than 6 months. Half of babies diagnosed with neonatal diabetes have a lifelong condition. This is called permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. It occurs in 1 in 260,000 babies in some areas of the world.
Explanation:
Answer:
Something that an antibody or T-lymphocyte binds to
Explanation:
As per the definition, antigens are the substances or molecules that are capable of inducing an immune response. When our immune system detects any unwanted substance or molecule in our body, the specific type of antibody is made against that antigenic substance and the antibody made against it binds to the antigen so that the other immune cells can recognize it and destroy it and protect us form its harmful effect. T-cell are also involved in recognizing antibodies and specific T-cell can bind to the antigen.
