CALCIUM METABOLISM PRESENCE IN BODY 9-11 mg/dl in plasma 1-1.5 kg in a 70 kg healthy man out of which 50% is free, diffusible and ionized. Remaining 50% is bound. Out of the bound fraction , 40% is bound to proteins which is non-diffusible and 10% to phosphate/citrate which is diffusible. Also, out of the …
AIM : Oxidation of Acetyl CoA to CO2 and H20. Also connectiong almost all individual metabolic pathways. LOCATION:Mitochondrial matrix FUNCTION: Generates high amount of NADH/FADH2 that act as fuel for ATP synthesis in ETC. REQUIREMENT: Aerobic conditions only (NADH and FADH2 can be regenerated in ETC only in presence of oxygen) REACTIONS IN …

Median Osseocartilenous portion b/w the two nasal halves of nasal cavity. Forms a mucus membrane covered medial wall of both nasal cavities. Because of world functions on dominance, so does our nasal septum. There is rarely strictly median septum. Deviation occurs due to over growth of one of the side thus deflecting the septum towards …
PURINE SALVAGE PATHWAY Starting from what we know. Nucleotides consist of nitrogenous base, a ribose, and a phosphate. They are the structural constituents of DNA and RNA. There are two pathways for the synthesis of the purine nucleotides. The De Novo synthesis pathway and, Salvage pathway. The former is the main nucleotide synthesis pathway and the …
