Glycolysis

-
Glycolysis :-

  glycolysis is defined as sequence of reaction converting glucose or glycogen to pyruvate or lactate, with the production of ATP (ATP Full Form) 
A=ADENOSINE
T=TRI
P=PHOSPHATE 

*This pathway is often referred to as Embden-Meyehof pathway (E. M Pathway) .

Glycolysis is derived from the Greek words (glycose- sweet or sugar, lysis -dissolution). 

Overview of glucose metabolism :-

Salient features of glycolysis :-

1- Glycolysis take place in all cells of the body,  enzymes of this pathway are present in the cytosomal fraction of the cell. 

2- Glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic) or in the presence of oxygen (aerobic).

3- Lactate is the end product under anaerobic condition.

4- Pyruvate is the end product under aerobic condition,which then oxidized to carbon dioxide & water (💧 ).

5- Glycolysis is a major pathway for ATP synthesis in tissue lacking mitochondria ,example RBC, cornea, lens etc .

6-Glycolysis is very essential for brain which dependent on glucose for energy.

Normal structure of skin :- The skin or the integument is the external organ that protects against mechanical trauma , UV light 💡& infection . In addition,  the skin is concerned with thermoregulation,consevation,excretion of fluid & sensory perception .  ðŸ‘† -Cone shaped dermal papillae extend upward into epidermis forming peg-like ridge of the epidermis . The histology   of  normal skin shows some variation in different parts of the body.  In general,  it is composed of  two layers which are separated by irregular border :-                                                *Epidermis                 *Dermis  *Epidermis :- Composed of  five layers from base to surface . 1-Basal cell layer ( stratum germinatum) :- #consist of a single layer of ...

Introduction :- Benign tumour of larynx can be divided into three groups -                 *Non-neoplastic tumour                 *Neoplastic tumour                 *Saccular swelling  Benign Neoplastic tumour are less common than malignant tumour . Laryngeal papilloma account for approximately 80% of all benign neoplasm of the larynx . Non-neoplastic vocal fold mucosal disorders:-     *vocal nodules     *vocal polyp     *Reinke's edema     *Contact ulcer     *Intubation granuloma     *Leukoplakia     *Amyloid tumour Neoplastic tumour :-      *Reccurent respiratory papillomatosis      *Chondroma       *Hemangioma      *Lipoma       *Fibroma Sacc...
