Question 36

LDL Cholesterol

Answer 36

sometimes referred to as "bad cholesterol," tends to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. LDLs, specifically, are the form of cholesterol that makes up the plaque that clogs arteries. Ideally, LDL levles should be less than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)

Question 37

HDL Cholesterol

Answer 37

Sometimes referred to as "good cholesterol" it does not have the tendency to clog arteries like LDL cholesterol does and, in fact, actually helps remove some LDL cholesterol from the body. To help reduce the risk fo heart disease, in conjunction with lowering LDL levels below 100 mg/dL, HDL levels should typically be kept around 60 mg/dL

Question 38

Type 1 Diabetes

Answer 38

with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin (or none at all), which is a hormone that helps transport glucose into cells to be used for energy . without insulin, glucose in the blood can rise to dangerous levels causing numerous health complications. type 1 diabetes is typically genetic and is not something a person can actively prevent.

Question 39

Type 2 Diabetes

Answer 39

with type 2 diabetes, the body still produces insulin; however, it is not used properly by the cells. when excess carbohydrates are chronically consumed in the diet, high levels of insulin need to be produced to help regulate blood sugar. When insulin continually tries to deliver glucose to cells when they already have more then they can use, cells stop respodning to it. this state is called insulin resistance. once cells have become insulin resistant, a person is said to have developed type 2 diabetes.

Question 40

Ligament

Answer 40

A ligament connects bone to bone; essentially, ligaments stabilize joints by holding bones together.

Question 41

Tendon

Answer 41
