Explanation:

Hyposis

The pituitary gland or pituitary gland is an endocrine gland that secretes hormones responsible for regulating homeostasis including the tropic hormones that regulate the function of other glands of the endocrine system, depending in part on the hypothalamus, which in turn regulates the secretion of some hormones. It is a complex gland that is housed in a bone space called the Turkish sphenoid bone chair, located at the base of the skull, in the middle cerebral fossa, which connects with the hypothalamus through the pituitary stem or pituitary stalk. It has an oval shape with an anteroposterior diameter of 8 mm, transverse of 12 mm and 6 mm vertically, on average it weighs 500 milligrams in the adult man, 600 mg in the woman and in which they have had several deliveries, up to 700 mg. 2

List three changes of state during which energy is absorbed.
mote1985 [20]

The three changes of state during which energy is absorbed are:

1. Change from solid to liquid - Melting.

2. Change from liquid to gas - Vaporization

3. Change from solid to gas - Sublimation

All these changes of state require heat energy to break the attractive forces that hold the particles of the molecules together, so that they can move into more disorderly states. For instance, when heat is applied to a solid, the solid absorbs the heat and use it to break the attractive forces that are holding the molecules of the solid together. At a particular temperature, the attractive forces will be completely overcome and the solid framework will collapse, thus leading to the melting of the solid.
