FORMATION There is a constant flow of aqueous humor through the anterior segment of the eye. The aqueous is formed by the ciliary process and flows from the posterior chamber to anterior chamber through the pupil and exits the eye at the angle. The secretion of aqueous humor generates the intraocular pressure required for an optically efficient globe. The flow of aqueous provides nutrition for the avascular ocular tissues that it bathes‚ the posterior surface of the cornea‚ trabecular meshwork‚ crystalline

Digestive Enzyme secretion is regulated by both the nervous and the hormonal systems. Hormones are a chemical substance signalling system that communicates from one set of cells to another set‚ the target cells‚ which will then trigger enzyme secretion. Upon ingesting food into the mouth‚ salivary glands secrete saliva which contains the digestive enzyme ‘Salivary Amylase’. This has

MULTIPLE PITUITARY HORMONE DEFICIENCY | | Genetic Forms of Multiple Pituitary Hormone Deficiency. | | Quite a few genes involved in embryonic development are candidates to explain multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) (Chapter 550). There are several distinctive heritable forms of MPHD. Mutations of transcription factor genes that are only expressed in the anterior pituitary lead to simple phenotypes with varying combinations of anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies
