  2. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    [11] [12] It follows that an increase in vitamin D 3 intake should lead to a decrease in bone resorption — it has been shown that oral administration of vitamin D does not linearly correlate to increased serum levels of calcifediol, [13] the precursor to calcitriol. Calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid in humans.

  3. Adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption

    Brunauer, Emmett and Teller's model of multilayer adsorption is a random distribution of molecules on the material surface. Adsorption is the adhesion [1] of atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface. [2] This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent.

    Adsorption, the formation of a gas or liquid film on a solid surface; CO 2 scrubber, device which absorbs carbon dioxide from circulated gas; Digestion, the uptake of substances by the gastrointestinal tract; Absorption (psychology), a state of becoming absorbed by mental imagery or fantasy; Flow (psychology), a state of total mental "absorption"

  6. Protein adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_adsorption

    The adsorption of larger biomolecules such as proteins is of high physiological relevance, and as such they adsorb with different mechanisms than their molecular or atomic analogs. Some of the major driving forces behind protein adsorption include: surface energy, intermolecular forces, hydrophobicity, and ionic or electrostatic interaction. By ...

  7. Polymer adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_adsorption

    Protein adsorption influences the interactions that occur at the tissue-implant interface. Protein adsorption can lead to blood clots, the foreign-body response and ultimately the degradation of the device. In order to counter-act the effects of protein adsorption, implants are often coated with a polymer coating to decrease protein adsorption.

  8. Absorption (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(pharmacology)

    Intravascular administration does not involve absorption, and there is no loss of drug. [4] The fastest route of absorption is inhalation. [5] Absorption is a primary focus in drug development and medicinal chemistry, since a drug must be absorbed before any medicinal effects can take place. Moreover, the drug's pharmacokinetic profile can be ...

    Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye. [1] Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes , which includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues), [ 1 ] and cytology ...
