Q

What happens when glucose enters the body during absorptive state?

A

-it can be used immediately as fuel.
-it can be stored as glycogen in the liver.
-it can be stored as glycogen in the muscles
-it can be converted to a triglyceride and then stored in fat cells

Q

what occurs during the absorptive period ?

A

-glucose absorption from the gut is high.
-glucose utilization by cells is high

16
Q

Why is glucose essential to the CNS?

A

uses for energy

17
Q

What occurs during post absorptive state ?

A

synthesis of glycogen and triglycerides slows and breakdown begins

18
Q

what maintains blood glucose ?

A

glucose sparing

19
Q

what does glucose sparing depend on ?

A

on lipolysis because it releases fatty acids

20
Q

what is glucose sparing?

A

the increase in fat utilization seen in most tissues and organs during periods of low glucose availability

21
Q

where do excess amino acids go?

A

are converted by liver cells into fatty acids and then triglycerides

22
Q

what are Endotherms

A

-generate their own heat
-Manly relatively narrow range of body temperatures
BMR measures within its thermoneutral zone

23
Q

what are the Ectotherms?

A

-body temperature changed with environments
BMR measured at standard temperature for each species
-Approximated average temperature normally encountered

24
Q

What are homeotherms ?

A

do not maintain a constant temperature
and are affected by extreme climate, exercise and sleep
-have stable body temperature
-can quickly adjust

25
Q

what are heterotherms

A

Have a fluctuating body temperature

26
Q

what is conductive?

A

body surfaces loses or gains heat through direct contact with cooler or warmer substances

27
Q

what is convection?

A

transfer of heat by the movement of air or fluid next to the body

28
Q

what is Glycogenolysis?

A

-glycogen hydrolysis in liver
-glucose levels are INCREASED in the blood through the breakdown of glycogen

29
Q

what is Gluconeogenesis?

A

-glucose levels are increased in the blood by synthesis of -glucose from non-carbohydrate sources

30
Q

what happens if excessive during postabsorptive period disadvantage?

A

the brain is exposed to levels of glucose that are too high

31
Q

what stimulates Glycogenolysis and Gluconeogenesis?

A

hormone GLUCAGON that is produced by pancreas

32
Q

what is true about glucagon ?

A

-It maintains homeostatic levels of glucose
-it is synthesized in the same endocrine gland that secretes insulin

33
Q

what is responsible for the synthesis of ketones from fatty acids?

A

liver

34
Q

What role does insulin play?

A

-key regulator of metabolism
-Made by pancreas, it increases during absorptive state and decreases during postabsoptive state
-Controls blood glucose concentration
-Promotes transport of glucose from extracellular fluid into cells
-Bind to cell-surface receptor and stimulates an intracellular signalling
