Endocrine System - Pancreas

Question 1

Peptide hormones

Answer 1

Water-soluble at cell surface
Second messengers

Question 2

Steroid hormones

Answer 2

Lipid-soluble at intracellular levels
Gene transcription

Question 3

Amine hormones

Answer 3

depends

Question 4

negative feedback

Answer 4

resists change to maintain homeostasis

Question 5

insulin

Answer 5

pancreas (b) - most body cells
increased glucose uptake

Question 6

glucagon

Answer 6

pancreas (a) - liver
decreased glucose uptake

Question 7

high blood glucose negative feedback

Answer 7

pancreas (b cells) release insulin
glucose uptake increased so blood glucose levels decreased

Question 8

low blood glucose negative feedback

Answer 8

pancreas (a cells) release glucagon
glucose uptake decreased so blood glucose levels increased

Question 9

type 1 diabetes: cause, problem & treatment

Answer 9

hyposecretion of insulin/autoimmune destruction of beta cells in pancreas
no insulin is produced
needs insulin injections

Question 10

type 2 diabetes: cause, problem & treatment

Answer 10

insulin resistance
cells don’t respond to insulin
diet, exercise, medications
