Diabetes Flashcards
exocrine pancreatic enzymes
digestive enzymes and sodium bicarb
which type of cells make the exocrine pancreatic enzymes?
acini cells
endocrine pancreatic hormones
insulin, glucagon and somatostatin
which type of cells make the endocrine pancreatic hormones?
cells in Islets of Langerhans
which type of cells make insulin
beta cells
which type of cells make glucagon
alpha cells
which type of cells make somatostatin
delta cells
where do exocrine enzymes go after they are made?
pancreatic duct
where do endocrine hormones go after they are made?
capillaries
how does insulin lower glucose levels?
it allows glucose to enter into cells
glucagon function
they release glucose from liver into blood in between times of eating
how does Somatostatin lower glucose levels?
decreases GI activity to extend time for food absorption
pancreatic polypeptide
helps to stimulate appetite
what happens to blood glucose after a meal?
it rises which insulin gets secreted, glucose is stored as fatty acids
glycogenesis
glucose stored in liver as glycogen
what happens to blood glucose between meals in order to maintain levels?
liver releases glucose
glycogenolysis
glycogen broken down to release glucose to feed brain
gluconeogenesis
making glucose from amino acids, glycerol and lactate
insulin is made up of how many peptides?
3
hypoglycemia s/s
hunger, tremor, sweating, weakness, malaise, irritability
hyperglycemia s/s
polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, dehydration
insulin action on potassium
it increases cell uptake which lowers the K levels in the blood
insulin action on adipose tissue
increases glucose uptake
insulin action on muscle
increase glucose and amino acids
insulin action on liver
increases glycogen uptake
