Oh, that's something I didn't know about that. I'll have to add that to reference

You need to ask a question

[Unome]

Oh yeah...
What is the role of prostaglandins in inflammation?

Prostaglandins increase blood flow, and chemotaxis.

[Unome]

Correct! Your turn.

[GoofyFoofer]

Ok.
Give a brief description of the 4 types of burns.

[Unome]

Lol, might as well reply again... (Click to Show Hidden Text)

1st degree: Epidermis is destroyed, usually appears as reddened skin and painful; 2nd degree: Epidermis and partial or total dermis destruction, forms blisters in skin; 3rd degree: destroyed down through subcutaneous adipose tissue, usually appears black, often fatal; 4th degree:, burns down to organs and/or bones, almost always fatal.

Correct, Unome!
There is just one detail I'd like to add to 3rd degree burns, which is that nerves are destroyed.
But yeah, other than that, good answer!
Your turn!

[Unome]

Completely forgot about this... What enzyme is responsible for the destruction of corneodesmosomes in the stratum corneum, resulting in desquamation?

[hmath729]

Aren't there two?
1. Stratum Corneum chymotryptic enzyme
2. " " tryptic enzyme

[Unome]

Correct, your turn. (I probably should have worded my question differently, but your answer/answers are both correct)
