ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Structurally, they are a C20 system containing a cyclopentane unit, a carboxylic acid functional group and-OH groups at C11 and C15. They are divided into series A, B, C, D, E and F depending on the cyclopentane substituents.

Detailed explanation-2: -During pregnancy and labor, the uterine cells produce prostaglandins to help dilate your cervix (make it wider) and cause uterine contractions. These contractions help move the baby through the birth canal.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the cortex, major sites of prostaglandin synthesis include arteries and arterioles as well as the glomerulus. At these sites, prostaglandins are important in maintaining blood flow and glomerular filtration, especially during conditions of enhanced vasoconstrictor activity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prostaglandins are members of a group of lipid compounds that are derived from fatty acids enzymatically. They have important functions in the bodies of animals. Every prostaglandin contains 20 carbon atoms, including a 5-carbon ring.
