What anatomical differences exist between male and female urinary tracts that may result in the higher incidence of utis in females? 2. why are bacteria that normally reside in the lower gi tract the primary cause of utis? 3. why are utis seen more in males over 50 than younger males? 4. how might anatomical abnormalities lead to an increase in utis?

hormones in blood stream

endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood stream near them; the hormones then travel in our bloodstream until it reaches its destination, called a target cell, in distance parts of the body. in the target tissue, hormones lock onto the target’s plasma membrane, called the receptor site.

when the displaced particles are perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, is called a transverse wave, whereas in longitudinal wave the displace practices are parallel to the direction of the wave.
