Q

Explain the process of the glucose going from intestinal lumen to bloodstream (use as much detail as possible)

A
  1. High salt concentrations drive glucose into the epitheal cells via Na+ glucose symporter
  2. As this continues it builds high concentration of glucose inside the epithelial cells
  3. The high concentration of glucose with drive GLUT 2 uniporter to activate
  4. There is a downhill efflux of glucose out of the cell into the blood stream
  5. Na K+ ATPase will be drive 3 NA out of the out of the cell and 2 K+ inside of the cell making a concentration gradient

Q

Describe the activity of GLUT 4 via the binding of insulin

A
  1. Insulin bind to its receptor which triggers a series a reactions

26
Q

Describe the release of insulin in the pancreas

A
  1. Glucose enters the beta cells via the GLUT 2 channel
  2. Glucose is converted to pyruvate which produces CO2 and undergoes respiration in the mitochondria
  3. ATP is produced which inhibits the release of K+ via the ATP K+ channel t
  4. This causes depolarization which changes the voltage of the cell
  5. Change in voltage cause Ca2+ voltage gated channel to allow Ca+ into the cell which stimulates insulin to be released via exocytosis
27
Q

A

Glucose

28

  4. Subsequent steps of glycolysis follow
29
Q
