EXAM 2 Flashcards
(149 cards)
carbohydrate
simple sugars, broken down in duodenum and proximal jejunum
the liver + glucose
liver extracts glucose and synthesizes it to glycogen (energy storage), glycogenolysis (break down glycogen)
muscles and fat extract glucose for their energy need
pancreas
with the liver controls the bodies fuel supply
exocrine cells
pancreatic cells release into ducts
endocrine cells
secrete insulin into blood stream
islet of lagnerhans
small islands of cells in pancreas that make up endocrine function
alpha cells
secrete glucagon in response to low sugar, glucagon stimulates liver to release stored glucose into blood
beta cells
produce insulin, lowers glucose by moving glucose into body tissues
hormone that lowers blood glucose
insulin
hormones that raise blood glucose
glucagon, epinephrine, glucocorticoids, growth hormone
glucagon is secreted by
islet of langerhans
epinephrine is secreted by
adrenal medulla and chromatin tissues
glucocorticoids are released by
adrenal cortex
growth hormone is secreted by
anterior pituitary
insulin
hormone secreted by beta cells that stimulates glucose uptake, utilization, and storage (glycogen)
insulin and lipids
insulin promotes fatty acid synthesis in the liver, insulin is fat sparing, tells cells to use carbs instead of fat
consequences of having no insulin
carbs cannot be broken down, glucose is unused by cells, builds up in blood cells, cells use fatty acid for energy, fat cant breakdown correctly so there are increased fatty acids in blood
ketones
composed of products of acid breakdown
the problem with impaired fat metabolism
increased serum ketones which causes sever metabolic acidosis. long term: atherosclerosis due to high lipid levels in blood
insulin deficiency and protein metabolism
body cannot correctly store protein, increased protein breakdown, increase use of amino acids as energy source
protein catabolism
muscle wasting, organ dysfunction, increased BUN
glycosuria
excretion of sugar in urine, sugar is too high and kidneys cant keep up, increased acetones
clinical picture of insulin deficiency
polyphagia, polydipsia, polyuria
polyphagia
increased hunger due to breakdown of fat and protein
