Q

What is glucose needed for?

A

Respiration because it is quickly absorbed across the cell membrane
Main respiratory substance
Glycogen gets used up very quickly

Q

hyperglycemia

A

When blood sugar levels are too high
Water goes back into blood because of lower water potential
Body becomes dehydrated

16
Q

glucagon

A

Made in pantry that promote background of glycogen to glucose and the muscle cells

17
Q

diabetes

A

Failure to regulate blood glucose levels

18
Q

type 1 diabetes

A

The result of failure of insulin production by beta cells

19
Q

type 2 diabetes

A

Fear of the influence receptor proteins on the cell membrane of target cells

20
Q

what can type two diabetes lead to?

A

Increase risk of circulatory disorders, renal failure, blindness, strokes, or heart attacks

21
Q

risk factors for type two

A

Overweight, obese, age 40 or older, family history, high BP low HDL or high triglycerides, inactivity

22
Q

type 1

A

genes and environmental factors like viruses

23
Q

what can type 2 be controlled by?

A

diet, reduction in weight

24
Q

what can type 1 be controlled by?

A

insulin rejections, and insulin pumps

25
physiological controls
Regulation of loss of heat through skin Thermal regulation is called endotherm Can also regulate their body temperature by modifying their behavior
26
vasoconstruction
The narrowing of blood vessels by small muscles in the walls, restricting blood flow
27
vasodilation
The widening of blood vessels by small muscles in the walls increasing blood flow
28
increase in temperature
Vasodilation Hair is life, flat allowing variation of heat from body increased sweat to cool body
29
Decrease in temperature
Vasoconstriction Had to be wrecked to trapped heat Decreased sweat production Skeletal muscles contracting, causing shivering Metabolic activity in liver increases heating body
30
adipose tissue roll in heat
To maintain temperature of newly born babies Memorize his triglycerides for heat
31
uncoupled respiration
Energy stored in ATP to release heat to maintain body temperature
