  • It is convex forward.
  • In the middle one-third,  the shaft has three borders ( Medial, Lateral and posterior ) and three surfaces ( anterior, Medial and Lateral).
  • Posterior border has a roughned ridge called linea aspera (latin- rough line).

  • In the upper one-third of the shaft, the two lips of the linea aspera diverge to enclose an additional posterior surface
  • Thus this part has...Four borders ( Medial, Lateral, Spiral line and The lateral lip of the gluteal tuberosity), Four surfaces ( Anterior, Medial, Lateral, Posterior).

  • In the lower one-third of the shaft, the two lips of the linea aspera diverge as supracondylar lines to enclose the additional , popliteal surface
  • Thus this part has... Four borders ( Medial, Lateral, Medial supracondylar line and Lateral supra condylar line), Four surfaces ( Anterior, Medial, Lateral and Popliteal).

Lower end

  • The lower end of the femur is widely expanded to form two large condyle (Medial and Lateral).
  • Anteriorly the two condyle united are in line with the front of the shaft.
  • Posteriorly these condyle are separated by a deep gap called Intercondylar fossa or intercondylar notch.

Articular surface - 

  • The articular surface for Patella covers by the anterior surface of both condyle.
  • The articular surface for Tibia covers by the inferior and posterior surface of both condyle.

Lateral condyle -


  • The lateral condyle is flat laterally, and is more in line with the shaft.
  • Tough it is less prominent than the medial condyle, it is stouter and stronger.

Digestion of lipid

Digestion of lipid

Definition of digestion

Brocken down of big food particles into small food particles, which can be absorbed and use as a nutrients for the body.

Classification of lipid

1. Simp;e fat -

a. Triglyceride / Neutral fat 
b.  cholesterol .

2. Compound fat -

a. Phospholipid
b. Glycolipid
c. Lipoprotein

3. Derived fat -

a. Prostaglandin
b. Leuketrin
  • We are lipid intake with food in the form of triglyceride mostly while some parts of cholesterol and cholesterol ester.
  • The enzyme which help in digestion of lipid called lipolytic  enzyme.  


Lipid, Digestion of lipid, Aas, Meranazarya, Physiology

Digestion of lipid in mouth

Saliva contain a lipolytic enzyme called lingual lipase, but this enzyme not act on food in mouth and engulfed with food.

Digestion of lipid in stomach

Gastric juice contain a lipolytic enzyme called gastric lipase, which act on triglyceride and converts into fatty acids and glycerol.

Digestion of lipid in small intestine

Intestine have two juices...
1. Pancreatic juice
2. Intestinal juice / succus entericus

Pancreatic juice

It contain enzymes...
1. Pancreatic lipase - it act on triglyceride and convert into fatty acids.

2. Cholesterol ester hydrolase - it act on cholesterol ester  and convert  into free cholesterol.

3. Phospholipase - it act on phospholipid and converts into free phospholipid and fatty acid.

4. Bile salt activated lipase - it activate bile for emulsification of fat. This enzyme act firstly and activated bile for emulsification of fat like fatty acid and cholesterol  because these are insoluble in water where as phospholipid are soluble in water.    

Intestinal juice / succus entericus

It contain only a lipolytic enzyme called intestinal lipase (weak enzyme) , which act on triglyceride and convert into fatty acid and glycerol ( it's function is negligible ).

Absorption

Lipid absorbed from small intestine.

  • Less then 12 carbon fatty acid absorb in the form of micelles.
  • More then 12 carbon fatty acids absorb in the form of chylomicrons.

  • The enzyme which help in protein digestion called proteolytic enzyme.

Protein, Aas, Digestion of protein
Enzymes of protein digestion


Digestion of protein in mouth

Saliva secrets in the mouth which don't have any proteolytic enzymes, so protein digestion not occur in the mouth.

Protein digestion in stomach

Gastric juice contain a proteolytic enzyme called pepsin. Pepsin act on protein and converts into protease, peptone and polypeptide. pepsin act in highly acidic medium.

Digestion of protein in small intestine

Small intestine contain two juices...
1. Pancreatic juice
2. Succus entericus

Pancreatic juice

Pancreatic juice have carboxy peptidase and endo-peptidase ( trypsin and chymotrypsin ) enzymes, these enzyme are proteolytic enzyme.
  • Trypsin act on protein and convert into di-peptide.
  • Chymotrypsin act on peptone and convert into tri-peptides and poly-peptide.
  • Carboxy-peptidase act on dipeptide, tri-peptide and poly-peptide and converts into amino-acids.

Succus entericus

It has many enzymes...
  • Mono-peptidase - it act on mono-peptide and convert into amino-acids.
  • Di-peptidase - it act on dipeptide and convert into amino-acids.
  • Tri-peptidase - it act on tri-peptide and convert into amino-acids.
  • Poly-peptidase - it act on poly-peptide and convert into amino-acids.
  • Protein absorbed with sodium in the form of amino-acids from small intestine.
  • Protein fastly absorbed and duodenum and jejunum and slowly in the ilium.

 


Digestion of carbohydrate

Digestion of carbohydrate

Definition

Brockendown of  big food particles into small food particles by the chemical process, which can be absorb and use as a nutrients.

The enzyme which help in digestion of carbohydrate called amylolytic enzyme.

Classification of carbohydrates


1. Monosaccharide - Hexoxes ( glucose ) , Pantoses.
2. Disaccharide - Sucrose ( Glucose + Fructose ), Lactose ( Glucose + Galactose )
3. Polysaccharide - Starch, Glycogen, Amylose.


Digestion of carbohydrates, Digestion
Enzymes of digestion of carbohydrate

Digestion in mouth

Mouth secrets saliva which contain salivary amylase/ ptylin /ptyalin. This enzyme act as amylolytic enzyme. This enzyme acts on starch and converts into dextrose and maltose.
Ptyalin inactive in highly acidic medium, so when food reach in stomach then ptyalin is inactive due to increase acidity.

Digestion in stomach  

Gastric juice contain a enzyme called gastric amylase, which is a very weak enzyme so it's function is negligible in stomach.

Digestion in intestine

Intestine have two juices...
1. Pancreatic juice
2. Succus entericus / Intestinal juice

Pancreatic juice

It contain pancreatic amylase which act on starch and converts into maltose and dextrose.

Intestinal juice

This juice contain many enzymes...
1. Sucrase - it act on sucrose and convert into glucose
2. Maltase - it act on maltose and convert into glucose
3. Lactase - it act on lactose and convert into glucose and galactose
4. Dextrinase - it act on dextrose and convert into glucose

  • Carbohydrate absorb from small intestine in the form of glucose (80%), fructose and galactose (20%). 

Cardiac cycle

Cardiac cycle

Definition

The change occur in heart during one heart beat, this process continue repeated in sequence manor called cardiac cycle.
