HN 196 EXAM 2 REVIEW QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
insulin is produced and released from the - ANSWER pancreas
in response to insulin or glucagon, either glycogenesis or gluconeogenesis,
respectively will take place in the - ANSWER liver
glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and in - ANSWER muscles
the body can either use ___ for energy, convert it to glycogen, or store it as fat -
ANSWER glucose
what occurs when blood glucose levels drop to lower than normal levels -
ANSWER hypoglycemia
as part of the response to increased blood glucose after a meal, insulin triggers
the number of _____ on the cell membranes in the body to be increased -
ANSWER glucose transporters
what is a key hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas that plays a
key role in regulating blood glucose levels after a meal - ANSWER insulin
what is the storage form of glucose in the liver and muscles of humans and
animals - ANSWER glycogen
what is a key hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas that plays an
important role in regulating blood glucose levels during times of fasting -
ANSWER glucagon
hormones that lower blood glucose levels - ANSWER insulin
hormones that raise blood glucose levels - ANSWER glucagon, norepinephrine,
epinephrine, cortisol?
hormones that have no effect on blood glucose levels - ANSWER
cholecystokinin, ghrelin
which of the following statements is correct?
gluconeogenesis generates glucose from noncarbohydrate sources, such as
amino acids, when blood glucose levels are low
, when glucose levels are low, glycogensis, the formation of glycogen, is
stimulated
lipogenesis is the breaking down of stored fat when blood glucose levels are low
when blood glucose levels are high, glycogen breakdown, or glycogenolysis, is
stimulated in both the liver and muscle to supply glucose to the blood - ANSWER
gluconeogensis generates glucose from non carbohydrate sources, such as
amino acids, when blood glucose levels are low
process of insulin secretion after a meal - ANSWER blood glucose levels rise
following the digestion of a carbohydrate-rich meal
insulin is secreted from the pancreas into the bloodstream
insulin increases the number of glucose transporters of the cell membranes to
allow the transport of glucose into the cells
insulin stimulates the liver to store excess glucose as glycogen and stimulates
glycogenesis in the muscle cells
insulin stimulates lipogenesis in the adipose tissue
process of low blood glucose levels to normal blood glucose levels - ANSWER
blood glucose levels fall
when blood glucose levels are low, glucagon is secreted from the pancreas into
the bloodstream
glucagon targets the liver and stimulates glycogenolysis to release glucose into
the bloodstream
gluconeogenesis in the liver is activated and converts amino acids and other
noncarbohydrate sources to glucose, which is released into the bloodstream
what ethinic groups are type 2 diabetes most common - ANSWER American
Indians/Alaska Natives
an example of a ____ caused from diabetes is swelling and leaking of blood
vessels in the eyes - ANSWER microvascular complication
due to reduced circulation to the limbs, people with diabetes are at an increased
risk of tissue death, which can result in - ANSWER amputation
what is classified as an autoimmune disease, and is most often diagnosed in
children 10 to 14 years of age - ANSWER type 1 diabetes
obese people may begin to exhibit what as a result of inappropriate
accumulation of lipids in the muscle, liver, and beta cells of the pancreas -
ANSWER insulin insensitivity
what is a common risk factor that can lead to insulin insensitivity, prediabetes,
and type 2 diabetes - ANSWER obesity
