For the similar condition, where the eyes deviate inward (rather than outward), see esotropia. Exotropia (from Greek ÎµÎ¾Î¿ÏÏá½ÏÎ¹Î±, ÎµÎ¾Î¿ exo meaning to exit or move out of and ÏÏá½ÏÎµÎ¹Î½ tropein meaning to turn), also referred to as divergent squint, is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia.
Anabolism (from Greek: á¼Î½Î¬, upward and Î²Î¬Î»Î»ÎµÎ¹Î½, to throw) is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process.
The growth and mineralization of bone and increases in muscle mass are examples of anabolism. The anabolic process uses monomers to build polymers. A polymer is a large complex molecule made of many small molecules that are similar to each other.
