Q

How can animals extract the nutrients they

need from food while not digesting their own tissues?

in fat in adipose cells

97
Q

what happens when fewer calories are takin in

the human body depends on liver glycogen first then muscle glycogen and fat

what cells make up beta cells

A

insulin

102
Q

where is the site of glucose homeostasis

A

liver

103
Q

what does a carbohydrate rich meal do to the body

A

raises insulin levels,

which triggers the synthesis of glycogen

104
Q

what does low blood sugar cause

A

glucagon to stimulate
the breakdown of glycogen and release
glucose

105
Q

what do brain cells do what glucose

A

they can take up insulin whether insulin is present

106
Q

what is diabetes mellitus

A

a disease that is caused by a deficiency of insulin or a decreased response
to insulin in target tissues

107
Q

what is a descrption of diabetes mellitus

A

Cells are unable to take up enough glucose to meet metabolic needs
– The level of glucose in the blood may exceed the capacity of the kidneys to reabsorb it
– Sugar in the urine is one test for diabetes

108
Q

what is type 1 diabetes

A
  • insulin dependent
  • autoimmune disorder in which the immune system
    destroys the beta cells of the pancreas, hence, insulin is not produced
109
Q

what is type 2 diabetes

A

(non-insulin-dependent) : insulin is produced but the target cell is not
responding

110
Q

what can consumption of more calories than the body needs lead to

A

obesity

111
Q

what does obesity contribute to

A

type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, breast

cancer, heart attacks, and strokes

112
Q

what do hormones regulate for body weight

A

long-term and short-term appetite by

affecting a “satiety center” in the brain

113
Q

what is the ghrelin hormone

A

secreted by the stomach wall and triggers feelings of hunger

114
Q

what is insulin and ppy

A

(secreted by the small intestine

after meals), both suppress appetite ty acting on the brain

115
Q

what is leptin

A

:produced by adipose tissue, also suppresses

appetite and regulates body fat levels
