Question 1

4 postulates for maintianing homeostasis

Answer 1

1. Role of the nervous system in
   preserving the “fitness” of the
   internal environment
2. Tonic level of activity
3. Antagonistic controls for same
   parameters
4. Chemical signals have
   different effects on different
   tissues

Question 2

other basic principles that govern physiological interactions and the maintenance of homeostasis

Answer 2

1. Shape controls function; change the
   shape, change the activity of the
   molecule
2. To move water, first move solute
3. Blood pressure = blood volume
4. Loss of compartment integrity
   =>disease/death
5. The bicarb equation is vital to
   homeostasis
   (H2O + CO2   H2CO3   HCO3- + H+)

Question 3

Tell me the normal ranges and rates of:

1. Blood
2. BPM
3. BP
4. PH
5. RR
6. BLGLU
7. O2
8. TEMPERATURE

Answer 3

1. BLOOD: 5L
2. BPM: 60-80
3. BP: 120/80
4. PH: 7.35-7.45
5. RR: 12-15 MIN
6. BLGLU: 100 MG/DL
7. 98 percent
8. 97 degrees Celsius

Question 4

Diabetes

Answer 4

a failure to regulate blood
glucose by insulin release and reception

Question 5

type 1 diabetes

Answer 5

pancreas isn’t producing insulin

Question 6

type 2 diabetes

Answer 6

pancreas isn’t producing enough insulin

Question 7

gestational diabets

Answer 7

insulin is ineffective during pregnancy

Question 8

Fed

Answer 8

• Immediately after eating
• Conversion of absorbed
  nutrients into energy storage
  molecules (glycogen,
  triglycerides)
• Insulin is predominant

Question 9

fasted

Answer 9

• Between meals
• Conversion of energy
  storage molecules to
  glucose (primarily in
  liver)
• Glucagon is
  predominant
