Q

what is Vesicoureteral Reflux?

A

abnormal flow of urin from bladder into the upper urinary tract, is a congential anomaly and depends on the valve in the ureter that is supposed to prevent reflux

Q

what relationship does the position of the ureter tunnel have to do with the likelihood of reflux?

A

the shorter the tunnel, the more likely reflux is

as children grow the tunnell elongates, so can grow out of VUR

A

when muscle, fat, and liver cells resist the insulin molecule on the cell membrane and outside the cell, the insulin does not initiate the usually chain of enzymatic reactions causing glucose levels to rise
in other words:
glucose must enter the cell to be utilized, needs insulin to enter the cell, w/out cellular response to insulin glucose cannot enter the cells to be utilized, so it stays in the blood
