In: Anatomy and Physiology
QUESTION 1
A major theme in human anatomy and physiology is the complementarity of structure and function, meaning that the structure of an organ, for example, will reflect that organ’s ability to function optimally, and vice versa. Please discuss in detail how the structure of the cell membrane and its unique chemistry are the factors that determine the selectivity of the membrane. Be specific and be detailed. A 2 or 3 sentence response will not be considered an adequate response.
