Check all statements that are true about prostaglandins. Prostaglandins appear to be necessary for normal blood clotting Prostaglandins are released by damaged tissues and cause pain. Prostaglandins can relax some smooth muscles and stimulate others Prostaglandins are usually transported long distances and therefore act as autocrines. All of the choices are correct

What are some effects of prostaglandins in the body? Check all that apply. Work to make reactions go faster in digestive and metabolic processes assuring that growth occurs properly Stimulate contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle. May cause inflammation and pain. Raise or lower blood pressure.

They function as neuromodulators, altering the release or effects of neurotransmitters in the brain. They promote gastric secretions. They inhibit blood circulation through the kidney and decrease water and electrolyte excretion. They inhibit ovulation and formation of corpus luteum.
