Study Notes

Sensory: Somatic (skin & muscle) Senses: Postcentral gyrus (parietal lobe). This area senses touch, pressure, pain, hot, cold, & muscle position. The arrangement is upside-down (head below, feet above) and is switched from left to right (sensations from the right side of the body are received on the left side of the cortex). Some areas (face, hands) have many more sensory and motor nerves than others. A drawing of the body parts represented in the p…

Maternal Attitudes and Corresponding Child Behaviors Overprotective: Mother's Behavior: A mother who is overly protective tends to shield her child from potential harm or discomfort, often to the point of being controlling. Child's Behavior: Children raised in an overprotective environment may become shy, submissive, and anxious. They may struggle with independence and exhibit fearfulness in new situations due to a lack of…

PROPERTIES OF TRIACYLGTYCEROLS 1. Hydrolysis : Triacylglycerols undergo stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis to finally liberate free fatty acids and glycerol. The process of hydrolysis, catalysed by lipases is important for digestion of fat in the gastrointestinal tract and fat mobilization from the adipose tissues. 2. Saponification : The hydrolysis of triacylglycerols by alkali to produce glycerol and soaps is known as saponification. 3.Rancidity: Rancidity…

PHOSPHORUS Serum level of phosphate is 3-4 mg/dl for adults and 5-6 mg/dl in children. Consumption of calcitriol increases phosphate absorption. Functions of phosphorus (a) Plays key role in formation of tooth and bone (b) Production of high energy phosphate compounds such as ATP, CTP, GTP etc., (c) Synthesis of nucleotide co-enzymes such as NAD and NADP (d) Formation of phosphodiester backbone structure for DNA and RNA synthesis Hypophosphatemia …
