important role is to regulate the movement of materials into and out of cells. The phospholipid bilayer structure (fluid mosaic model) with specific membrane. proteins accounts for the selective permeability of the membrane and passive. and active transport mechanisms.
Structure of Blood Vessels a) Three distinct layers or tunics form the walls of blood vessels: ---The tunica interna (tunica intima) is the innermost layer.It contains the endothelium which is a continuation of the endocardial lining of the heart.tructure of Blood Vessels a) Three distinct layers or tunics form the walls of blood vessels: ---The tunica interna (tunica intima) is the innermost layer.
The stratum corneum (Latin for 'horny layer') is the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of dead cells (corneocytes). This layer is composed of 15-20 layers of flattened cells with no nuclei and cell organelles. Their cytoplasm shows birefringent filamentous scleroprotein keratin. The stratum corneum is composed of three lipid components: ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids.
