control of blood glucose

Question 1

what is the term for creating glucose from non carbohydrate stores such as lipids and amino acids

Answer 1

glyconeogenesis

Question 2

what is the term for glucose to glycogen

Answer 2

glycogenesis

Question 3

what is the term for glycogen to glucose

Answer 3

glycogenolysis

Question 4

what organ is responsible for the control of blood glucose

Answer 4

pancreus

Question 5

what does the pancreus contain , and what does that secreate and do

Answer 5

islets of langerhan
contains alpha and beta cells

Question 6

what are beta cells responsible for

Answer 6

secreate insulin when blood glucose is too high

Question 7

what are alha cells responsible for

Answer 7

secreate glucagon when blood glucose too low

Question 8

describe and explain the response to low blood glucose

Answer 8

• detects blood glucose too low
• alpha cells secrete glucagon
• glucagon binds to receptors on liver cell
• activates enzymes that stimulate glycogenolysis [ conversion of glucogen into glucose]
• activates enzymes that also stimulate gluconeogenesis
• rate of respiration decreases

Question 9

describe the bodys response too an increase in blood glucose

Answer 9

-detects high levels of blood glucose
- beta cells secreate insluin
- insulin binds to receptors on liver cells
- increases permiability of the liver by increasing the number of channel protiens
- activates enzyme that stimulates glycogenesis
- glycogen stored
- rate of respiration increases specifically in muscle cells

Question 10

what is the secondary messanger model

Answer 10

role of adrenaline in increasing blood glucose

Question 11

describe how adrenaline can increase blood glucose

Answer 11

• adrenaline compelentory tertiary structure to liver cells receptors
• adrenaline binds to liver cell receptors
• activate enzyme adenylate cyclace
• adyenylate cyclace converts atp into cAMP
• cAMP actives protien kinase A
  -protien kinase A activates cascade that stimulates glycogenolyisis.
