glucose, and is the one that is biologically active. It occurs in plants as a product of
photosynthesis.

Q

___ in the pancreas regulates glycemia,

A

Islets of Langerhans

21
Q

adrenaline, is both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It plays an important role in your bodys “fight-or-flight” response. It's also used as a medication to treat many life-threatening
conditions.

A

EPINEPRHINE

22
Q

stress hormone, increased when you are stress out. (balanced)

A

CORTISOL-

23
Q

the major endocrine gland, the “master gland” A pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain,

A

pituitary gland

24
Q

Produced by the anterior pituitary gland; governs our height, bone length and muscle growth.

A

GROWTH HORMONE-

25
Q

stimulate the adrenal glands to release cortisol.

A

ACTH –Adrenocorticotropic hormone-

26
Q

occurs when a pituitary adenoma, a noncancerous (benign) tumor on pituitary gland,
makes too much adrenocorticotropic hormone

A

Cushing disease

27
Q

occurs as a part of stress response in acute illnesses and is brought
about by elevated levels of counter regulatory hormones.

A

Transient Hyperglycemia

28
Q

In ____ disease, the adrenal gland is damaged, and not enough cortisol and aldosterone are
produced

A

Addison’s disease

29
Q

-regulates sodium homeostasis.

A

Aldosterone

30
Q

-occurs as a part of stress response in acute illnesses and is brought
about by elevated levels of counter regulatory hormones. healthy infants experience this as a part of the normal adaption to
extrauterine life,

A

Transient Hypoglycemia

31
Q

glucose being broken down into pyruvate and takes place in the cytoplasm. This is considered the first step in aerobic and anaerobic respiration and is significant in providing energy to cells.

A

Glycolysis

32
Q

s described as the reverse of glycolysis. Its mechanism revolves around generating glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors like amnino acids, glycerol and lactate.

A

Gluconeogenesis

33
Q

the process of breaking down glycogen into glucose, which is then used by the body for energy.

A

Glycogenolysis

34
Q

the process of converting glucose into glycogen, a primary carbohydrate stored in the body’s liver and muscles

A

Glycogenesis

35
Q

a metabolic process that converts fatty acids and glycerol into fats, or acetyl-CoA into triglycerides, for storage in fat

A

Lipogenesis

36
Q

a metabolic process that breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol

A

Lipolysis
