studying for physio exam which falls on 7th aug, which is next tues. a total of 9 chapters!!! omg, how m i suppose to memorise so much stuffs. the scientific terms itself is damn hard to rmb.
let's see an example:

*mechanism of non-sterois hormone actions
-non steroid hormone binds to receptors on the cell surface
-sets off aseries of reactions to activate an enzyme
-enzyme catalysts the conversion of ATP(andenosine tripple phosphate) to cAMP(cyclic andenosine mono phosphate), a second messenger
-cAMP then acts on other cellular proteins which cause the hormonal effect.
*mechanism of steroid hormone action
-lipid soluble hormone pass through the cell membrane
-enter the nucleus
-binds to specific receptor protein
-hormone receptor complex binds to DNA
-activate certain genes to transcribe mRNA
-mRNA gets translated to new proteins
-proteins stimulate the changes in the cell activities.

this is only 1% of wat i m going to study...who cares how the hormones inside our body work actually.

i m really going to curse the guy who REQUESTED for the structure essay qns in our exam!!
originally, the exam consists only mcq and fill-in-the-blanks qns, then this xxxxxxxx boy went to request for seq. wth. and the reason is bcos, he always pon physio, and he noe nth for this module, since he noes he will do badly in his exam, he wanna make the exam difficult for all students, then he will hav ppl to "accompany" him failing. this is so absurd...really wanted to 'murder' him...hahaaha

anterior pituitary gland produces--> human growth hormone, luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, andrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone.
hypothalamus produces--> oxytoxin, anti-diuretic hormone, and these r stored in posterior pituitary gland for secretion.
pancreas produces--> insulin, glucagon

nid to curse the guy again....>(
