Cellular communication is the function of the plasma membrane that allows it to respond to certain stimuli from outside the cell and hormones to bind to receptors.

<h3>What is plasma membrane?</h3>

It is a double layer of lipids that covers and delimits the cells, serving as a border between the inside and the outside of the cell, and also allowing a physicochemical balance.

<h3>Characteristics of plasma membrane</h3>

Enables the development of compartments; allows or rejects the entry and/or exit of particles; acts as a mechanical defense; and reacts to external signals and stimuli.

It reacts and transmits information inside the cell, starting certain biochemical processes: cell division, cell movement or the segregation of biochemical substances.

Therefore, we can conclude that the main characteristic of the plasma membrane, that is, its ability to allow or reject the entry of certain molecules into the cell.

The correct answers are a, c, d.
There are three types of capillaries: continuous, sinusoidal (or discontinuous) and fenestrated. Continuous capillaries are the most common type and they form tight junctions. Sinusoidal capillaries form an incomplete lining with several gaps, which allow red and white blood cells and some serum proteins to pass. These capillaries are mainly found in the bone marrow, lymph nodes and adrenal glands. Finally, fenestrated capillaries facilitate the movement of smaller molecules and plasma proteins and are mainly found in the small intestine. The majority of the fluid transport happens through the fenestrated capillaries.
