Week 4 Diabetes Management Flashcards
Bile duct and pancreatic duct combine to form the
Common Bile Duct
Opening into the duodenum is the
Ampula of Vater
Sphincter is called the Sphincter of Odi
Gallstone within the gallbladder
Cholelithiasis
Gallstone within the duct
Choledolithiasis
Alpha Cells
20 % secrete glucagon
Hormone formed in the pancreas that promotes the breakdown of glycogen in the liver
Beta Cells
75% secrete insulin
Hormone produced in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans that regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.
Moves glucose to cells, stores as glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle
Islet of Langerhans Cells
Composed of Alpha and Beta Cells
Delta Cells
5% secrete somatostatin
Somatostatin- from the hypothalamus inhibits pituitary gland secretion of growth hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone
Somatostatin is produced in the
Pancreas
Inhibits the secretion of other pancreatic hormones such as insulin and glucagon
D1 Cells
VIP- Vasoactive Instestinal Polypeptide
Neuropeptide functions as neuromodulator and neurotransmitter . Potent vasodilator.
PP Cells
Pancreatic Polypeptide
Inhibitor of glucagon release at low glucose level . Feeling of fullness of hormone.
Exocrine Function
Acini Cells- Secrete Amylase, Lipase, trypsin as digestive enzymes
Exocrine
Acini Cells
Secrete Pancreatic Juices
Endocrine
Islets of Langerhans
- Secrete insulin and glucagon
Pancreas has two main functions
Exocrine Function- Helps in digestion
Endocrine Function- regulates blood sugar
DM
Disease characterized by hyperglycemia, caused by defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both
DI caused by problems with what hormone
Vasopressin
4 types of DI
Central
Nephrogenic
Dipsogenic
Gestational
Absence of insulin production ( beta cells are destroyed from autoimmune response)
Type 1
Insulin Dependent or Juvenile
Type 2 DM
Deficiency of insulin production, decreased insulin action, and increased insulin resistance
non- insulin diabetes or adult onset diabetes
