k 100% Guarantee Pass k k




1.Glucose Production & Release k k k




kAnswer
All cells in the body need energy to function
k k k k k k k k




•primarily comes from glucose; a type of sugar found in carbohydrates.
k k k k k k k k k k




-between meals, glucose stores in the liver are released into the bloodstream
k k k k k k k k k k k




•ensures a constant source of energy for the body
k k k k k k k k




-After a meal, carbohydrates are digested & release glucose into the bloodstream
k k k k k k k k k k k




2.Insulin Release in Type I Diabetes k k k k k




kAnswer
As glucose levels in the blood rise, beta cells in the pancreas are stimulated to release
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




kinsulin
-Insulin halts the livers glucose release & initiates small amounts of glucose to be
k k k k k k k k k k k k k




kstored in the liver for future use
k k k k k k




-type 1 diabetes, pancreatic beta cells are damaged or destroyed
k k k k k k k k k




•damaged beta cells produce little to no insulin k k k k k k k

, 3.Systemic Insulin and Glucose in Type I Diabetes k k k k k k k




kAnswer
Insulin & glucose travel through the bloodstream to reach cells throughout the body
k k k k k k k k k k k k




-Due to diminished insulin production, patients with type 1 diabetes have a low insulin
k k k k k k k k k k k k k




kconcentration & high glucose (sugar) concentration in their blood k k k k k k k k




4.Glucose Absorption in Type I Diabetes k k k k k




kAnswer
Insulin is required for glucose to enter cells & be used as energy
k k k k k k k k k k k k




-Once arriving at the intended cell, insulin binds to specialized receptors on the cell surface
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




•initiates glucose transporters to open & glucose to flow into the cell
k k k k k k k k k k k




-type 1 diabetes, low levels of insulin prevent adequate amounts of glucose from entering
k k k k k k k k k k k k k




kthe cell k




•Because glucose remains in the bloodstream & is not used by the cell as energy,
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




kpatients with type 1 diabetes may experience fatigue, exhaustion, & dizziness
k k k k k k k k k k




5.Insulin Release in Type II Diabetes k k k k k




kAnswer

,-In type 2 diabetes, pancreatic beta cells become damaged or destroyed over time
k k k k k k k k k k k k




•damaged beta cells produce little to no insulin. k k k k k k k




6.Systemic Insulin and Glucose in Type II Diabetes k k k k k k k




kAnswer
Insulin & glucose travel through the bloodstream to reach cells throughout the body
k k k k k k k k k k k k




-Insulin is required for glucose to enter cells & be used as energy
k k k k k k k k k k k k




-In type 2 diabetes, insulin is not used properly & glucose remains in the bloodstream
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




•leads to high levels of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia).
k k k k k k k k k




7.Glucose Absorption in Type II Diabetes k k k k k




kAnswer
Once arriving at the intended cell, insulin binds to specialized receptors on the cell surface
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




•initiates glucose transporters to open & glucose to flow into the cell
k k k k k k k k k k k




-type 2 diabetes, the body is resistant to the effects of insulin & does not properly bind
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k




kto insulin receptors
k k




-Due to insulin resistance & resulting hyperglycemia, patients with type 2 diabetes may
k k k k k k k k k k k k




kexperience increased thirst or hunger, fatigue, blurry vision, and slow-healing wounds
k k k k k k k k k k




8.Hypothyroidism
kAnswer
an underproduction of the hormone thyroxine (T4)
