The correct answer is endothelium.
The endothelium is a thin layer of single-layered, squamous cells that can be found in the lumen of blood vessels, on the interior surfaces of the heart chambers, in the glomerulus of the kidney...The main function of endothelium is barrier function when it acts as a semi-selective barrier between the lumen of the vessels and surrounding tissue, and thus, controls the passage of materials. The endothelium is also included in functions such as fluid filtration in the kidneys, the control of blood pressure (vasodilatation and vasoconstriction), inflammation.
That would be Cushing's Syndrome, or Cushing's Disease. If the problem arises in the adrenal gland, then the disorder is primary adrenal insufficiency.
Answer:
1. As the cell size increases, the ratio of surface area to volume DECREASES
2. It depends on the unit of the ratio 6:1. If it is in cm−1, then it means that it is similar to a cell of size 1 cm^3, which is normally too big to get materials from the surface
.
3. A Small cell has a large surface area/volume ratio and therefore can exchange molecules with it's external environment rapidly. So, Here cell with ratio 6:1 is smaller and have ability to better transportation across it's membrane as compared to other cell with ratio 3:1
