When a ligand is released what prevents all of the cells in the body from being affected?

When a ligand is released, only cells that have the specific receptor for that ligand will be affected. Receptors are proteins on the cell membrane or inside the cell that bind to specific ligands like keys fitting into locks. This specificity ensures that only target cells respond to the signaling molecule, preventing all cells in the body from being affected by the released ligand. Additionally, the concentration of the ligand, the distance it can travel, and the presence of other signaling molecules also play a role in determining which cells are affected.


What is the target tissue that is affected by the somatic tissue?

The target tissue affected by somatic mutations is the body's non-reproductive cells, including those in organs, muscles, and connective tissue. These mutations are not passed on to offspring as they do not affect germ cells.


How does a stroke causes brain damage?

A stroke is a injury within the brain. There are two basic types; ischemic and hemorrhagic. In an ischemic stroke, a blockage in a blood vessel occurs within the brain, cutting off the flow of blood carrying oxygen and sugars to the brain tissue. In a hemorrhagic stroke, a blood vessel has burst within the brain, flooding an area of brain tissue. Depending on the area affected within the brain, there could be many different affects. Stroke victims frequently experience physical weakness in one or more extremity, or difficulty speaking or seeing.

What percent of the postcentral gyrus would be affected after a stroke?

The extent of the postcentral gyrus affected after a stroke depends on the size and location of the stroke. If a stroke damages the blood supply to the postcentral gyrus, it can result in sensory deficits on the opposite side of the body. The percentage of the postcentral gyrus affected can vary from a small area to a larger portion depending on the severity of the stroke.
