-
In order for it to get inside the cells and go through them
-
there have to be transporters which specifically allow glucose to
-
pass into the cell and then out into our body.
-
There's a couple of features of cellular physiology
-
which are shown here.
-
One is that cells form tissues that are mechanically intact,
-
they have mechanical integrity
-
because they can adhere to one another.
-
The other is that this kind of adherence
-
gives the tissue a property that's useful,
-
in this case the property is it can serve
-
as a barrier to nutrients from entering our body.
