Digestion summary and diabeites Flashcards
When glucose is gone u need…?
GlucaGON
Is the pancreas exocrine or endocrine
Partly both
Exo- Secretion of pancreatic juice which flows along pancreatic duct into duodenum
Endo- Alpha cells secret glucagon
Beta cells secret insulin
Glucose regulation what hormone control glucose blood levels
Insulin and glucagon
What happens is blood glucose lvl is too high?
Insulin is released
Insulin causes glucose to be taken up by fat cells and stored
Where are both glucagon and insulin excreted
Pancrease
What happens if blood glucose is too low
Glucagon is released
causes liver to break down its stores of glycogen
Glucose then released to the blood
What organ controls glucose levels
Islets of langerhans
Alpha cells
Glucagon
Beta cells
Insulin
Blood glucose levels
Hypoglycaemic
normal
hyperglycaemic
Hyperglycaemic means the kidney can’t what?
Kidney is unable to re-absorb all the glucose so some passes out in urine.
What acids may get built in up blood because fats and proteins can’t take glucose in?
keto acids - lowers persons pH levels in blood
Diabietes symptoms
Hunger
thirst
excessive urinating
Slow healing or cuts
Blurred vision
Dizziness
tiredness
fatigue
Diabetes diagnosis
Test for glucose in urine
Fasting blood glucose test
Treatment type 2
Diet changes
Regular monitor of blood glucose lvl
Treatment type 1
Diet control
Regular insulin
What do diabetes patients need to get checked
Dentist
feet
Eye
General health
Fats broken down…
triglyceride -> Fatty acid (3) & glycerol
Carbs
Strathc -> maltose -> glucose
protein
long peptide chain -> shorter peptide chain -> amino acid
Stomach special structure and why
More muscle- Mechanibcal digestion
Thicker mucosa & gastric glands- Acid production
Small intestine structure and why
Villi - higher surface area for absorption
Triglyceride -> glycerol & 3 fatty acids
(enzyme)
= Lipase
Sucrose -> glucose + fructose (enzyme)
Sucrase
