insufficiency occurs when adrenal cortex function is inadequate to meet the patients’ need for cortical hormones” (2014). There are three types of cortical hormones produced by the adrenal cortex, they are the glucocorticoids which influence carbohydrate metabolism, the mineralocorticoids that modulate salt and water balance and the androgens that contribute to the expression of sexual characteristics” (2016). Examples of the cortical hormones produced by the adrenal glands are cortisol which is

Review Biology Test #1 Chapter 3: Water and life • Polar covalent bonds in water result in Hydrogen bonding between the molecules. These bonds give water its special properties • In presence of water, ionic bonds are weak and covalent bonds are strong. Without water, ionic bonds are stronger. • Each water molecule can make 4 hydrogen bonds. • Water properties: 1. Polarity 2. Surface tension 3. Cohesion 4. Adhesion 5. Capilarity 6. High specific heat 7. Heat bank 8. Heat of vaporization

factors include: the agent (acidogenic bacteria), the host (the tooth, quality and quantity of saliva, and immune responses) and the environment (the patient’s diet, amount/frequency and kind of food or drink consumed and the intake of fermentable carbohydrates). We will then discuss demineralization and remineralization (the body’s natural repairing of the tooth) and their roles in the caries process. We will also take a look at how caries are diagnosed and detected, what a caries risk assessment is

sub-cellular level and is usually subdivided into: * G1 - ("Gap One") - this is a period of molecular synthesis where a newly formed cell turns on a variety of genes on its DNA to make proteins, which in turn churn the metabolism of the cell, produce and breakdown carbohydrates, lipids, etc., and transform energy from food into ATP. The cell grows and enlarges. * S - ("synthesis") - during this phase the chromatin (DNA and proteins) becomes synthetically active. Using elaborate teams of enzymes
