16
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Pancreas:

A

An elongated organ located near the stomach and small intestines.

17
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Roles of pancreas

A
  • process hormones for the blood(insulin,glycogen)

- produces digestive enzymes for the small intestine.

18
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Only _____ of all prancreatic cells produce hormones the cells are

A

1%
Alpha cells- glycogen production
Beta cells- Insulin production

19
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Insulin does what?

A

Decrease glucose levels

-pancreas tells cells to take glucose from the blood.

20
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Glycogen does what?

A

Blood glucose levels

Tells liver to break down glycogen stores.

21
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Type 1 diabetes (IDDM) :

A

  • insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
    • destruction of the cells.
22
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Type 2 Diabetes NIDDM:

A
  • 80% of all cases
  • non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
    • cells don’t respond effectively to insulin
    • can lead to type 1 diabetes
23

Negative feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis
Eating:
Release:

A
  • increase blood glucose: increase insulin

- decrease blood glucose

27
Q

Organic molecules and Carbohydrates

Decrease blood glucose

A

Increased glycogen release= increased blood glucose.
