Pituitary Gland|Master Gland

Pituitary Gland|Master Gland  Overview: The pituitary gland  is a complex endocrine gland. It regulates the functions of other endocrine glands through its hormones. It controls the activity of different glands through its secretions. Therefore, it is also known as the 'Master gland' of the endocrine system. It is also known as Hypophysis.   Keywords: Endocrine|Gland|Adenohypophysis|Neurohypophysis|CRH|Releasing factor| Hormones|Factors|Sella turcica | Hypothalamus|Master gland| Location : The pituitary gland is situated at the base of the brain, behind the bridge of the nose. It is a continuity of the hypothalamus and seems to protrude from its bottom at the brain base, in the center of the Middle cranial fossa. This is present in the hypophysial fossa of the sphenoid bones, surrounded by a bony cavity known as 'sella turcica' and covered by 'diaphragm sella' –a dural fold . The hypophysial fossa is the deepest part of "sella turcica."

What happens to the fat we take in meals?|Physiology

What happens to the fat we take in meals? When we eat fat, it is digested and absorbed in our gastrointestinal tract. Some fat is not absorbed and excreted. Fat, along with carbohydrates and proteins, is one of the three macronutrients of human food. Fat is an excellent energy source and essential for cell formation and vitamin absorption. It is vital for good health. However, an excess of fat is hazardous to our health. Let us delve into the fate of fat in our bodies. Digestion of fat:  Lipids are large molecules, and unlike carbohydrates and proteins, they are not soluble in water and do not mix with the watery blood. So, they like to cluster together in large droplets in a liquid surrounding the gastrointestinal tract. The digestive process breaks those large droplets of fat into smaller droplets, and then enzymes digest lipid molecules using enzymes called lipase. In the mouth:  Chewing breaks food into smaller particles and mixes them with saliva. Lingual lipase be

Fats and Lipids| Physiology

Fat and Lipid Introduction Fat is one of the three macronutrients in human food, along with carbohydrates and protein. Fat is any esters of fatty acids or a mixture of such compounds in food. Triglyceride is a triple esters of glycerol. One glycerol molecule contains three fatty acids. Lipids are any molecule of biological importance composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are water, insoluble, and soluble in lipid solvents. Fat and lipids are not synonyms, but we use them for each other; they are interchangeable. Lipids consist of 1. Fats are solid or semisolid at room temperature. 2. Oils are liquid at room temperature. Keywords: Physiology|metabolism|fat|lipid|glycerol|free fatty acid Types of fat: Neutral fat (triglyceride) Saturated fat Unsaturated fat Monounsaturated fat Polyunsaturated fat Phospholipid. Tarns fat Cholesterol. Free fatty acid. Fat is stored as triglyceride in the body. Fats are rich in calories and a significant energ
