Q

What is glucose converted to during the absorptive state

A

Glycogen

28
Q

What directs all events during the absorptive state

A

Insulin

29
Q

What produces insulin

A

Beta cells of pancreatic islets of langerhans

30
Q

What do the beta cells of pancreatic islets of langehans produce

A

Insulin

31
Q

How many aa is insulin

A

51

32
Q

How are the amino acid chains in insulin connected

A

disulfide bonds

33
Q

How is proinsulin converted to insulin

A

middle portion excised right before release

34
Q

What is the primary stimulation for insulin secretion

A

rise in blood sugar

35
Q

Where is insulin stored

A

Beta cells of pancreatic islets of langerhans

36
Q

What is the principal effect of insulin

A

activate carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion of glucose into cells

37
Q

What 4 locations are insulin not needed for glucose entry

A

Liver
Kidney
Brain
Intestinal epithelial cells

38
Q

Why does insulin inhibit gluconeogenesis

A

Because since we just ate, we already have lots of glucose and don’t need more

39
Q

what are the two events geared towards in the postabsorptive state

A

sparing glucose for the brain
making more glucose available for the circulatory system

40
Q

What are the three available sources for glucose

A

stored glycogen
fat (just the glycerol)
tissue proteins

41
Q

Why cant skeletal muscle directly provide glucose

A

It doesn’t have glucose 6 phosphatase to break down the glycogen into glucose

42
Q

what is the first source of glucose during the post absorptive state

A

Liver glycogen reserves

43
Q

How does skeletal muscle make glucose

A

they metabolise glucose-6-phosphate by glycolysis to pyruvate/lactic acid, then it goes to the liver to become glucose

44
Q

the liver converting glycerol to glucose is what kind of process

A

gluconeogenesis

45
Q

what is the last resort of energy

A

protein

46
Q

what is used for energy to conserve glucose

A

noncarbohydrate fuel
ie triglycerides

47
Q

in the postabsorptive state all tissues and organs except _______ switch to using fat as their main energy source

A

the brain

48
Q

what can ketone bodies be used for

A

energy

49
Q

decreasing blood glucose stimulates secretion of what

A

Glucagon

50
Q

what is glucagon stimulated by

A

decreasing blood sugar

51
Q

What is the counterpart to insulin

A

glucagon

52
Q

what is the counterpart to glucagon

A

insulin

53
Q

what produces glucagon

A

alpha cells of pancreatic islets of langerhans

54
Q

alpha cells of pancreatic islets of langerhans secrete what

A

glucagon

55
Q

is glucagon hypo or hyperglycemic

A

hyperglycemic

56
Q

what is the name for the process of breaking down triglycerides

A

lipolysis

57
Q

what is the main target of glucagon

A

liver
adipose tissue

58
Q

the liver and adipose tissue are the main target of what hormone

A

glucagon

59
Q

what is the process of breaking down glycogen into glucose

A

glycogenolysis

60
Q

what three things does glucagon promote

A

glycogenolysis
gluconeogenesis
lipolysis

61

what gland responds to sympathetic stimulation as part of fight or flight response

A

adrenal gland

62
Q

what contains chromaffin cells

A

adrenal medulla

63
Q

what secretes epinephrine and norepinephrin

A

chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla

64
Q

what does epi and norepi stimulate

A

all the processes to get glucose in the blood stream

65
Q

what secretes cortisol

A

adrenal cortex

66
Q

what does the adrenal cortex secrete

A

cortisol
