Hormones that Affect Carbohydrate Metabolism

Question 1

What controls Blood Glucose Concentration?

Answer 1

Insulin
Glucagon
Both are produced by the pancreas

Question 2

What other hormones have control over Blood Glucose Concentration?

Answer 2

Epinephrine
Cortisol
Growth Hormone
Somatostatin

Question 3

What happens to the ECF during a brief fast?

Answer 3

Glucose is supplied through Glycogenolysis

Question 4

What is Insulin?

Answer 4

Synthesized by Beta cells of Islets of Langerhans
Made in Pancreas

Question 5

What is the relationship between Insulin being released and Glucose?

Answer 5

When Glucose levels are high, insulin is released
When it is low, Insulin is not released

Question 6

What hormone decreases Glucose levels?

Answer 6

Insulin
Hypoglycemic Agent

Question 7

What is Glucagon

Answer 7

Made by Alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans
Increases Glucose
Hyperglycemic Agent

Question 8

Epinephrine

Answer 8

Produced by Adrenal Medulla
Increases Plasma Glucose
Inhibits Insulin
Increases Glycogenolysis
Promotes Lipolysis

Question 9

Cortisol

Answer 9

Realesed from Adrenal Cortex
Increases Plasma Glucose
Increases Gluconeogenesis, Liver Glycogenolysis, Lipolysis

Question 10

Somatostatin

Answer 10

Produced by Delta cells of Islets of Langerhans
Low Blood Glucose = inhibited Insulin
High Blood Glucose = inhibited Glucagon
