Pathophysiology - Nursing 115: Test 2
Liberty University Questions and All
Correct Answers.
Pancreas - Answer - Alpha Cells: Glucagon
- Beta Cells: Insulin, Amylin
- Delta Cells: Somatostatin
- F Cells: Pancreatic Polypeptides
Tissue Types and Functions of the Pancreas - Answer - The Acini: Secrete digestive juices into
the duodenum
- The Islets of Langerhans: Secretes hormones into the blood
Control of Insulin Secretion - Answer - Response to Elevated Blood Glucose
- Glucose Transported
- Glucagon
Actions of Insulin and Glucagon on Glucose - Answer - Insulin
1) Increases glucose transport into skeletal muscle and adipose tissue
2) Increases glycogen synthesis
3) Decreases gluconeogenesis
- Glucagon
1) Promotes glycogen breakdown
, 2) Increases gluconeogenesis
Actions of Insulin on Protein - Answer - Increases active transport of amino acids into cells
- Increases protein synthesis
- Decrease protein breakdown
+ Better use of glucose and fatty acids as fuel
Actions of Glucagon on Protein - Answer - Increases transport of amino acids into hepatic
cells
- Increases breakdown of proteins into amino acids for use of gluconeogenesis
- Increases the conversion of amino acids into glucose precursors
Hormones Affecting Blood Glucose: Catecholamines - Answer - Epinephrine and
norepinephrine
- Help to maintain blood glucose levels during periods of stress
Hormones Affecting Blood Glucose: Glucocorticoids - Answer - Critical to survival during
periods of fasting and starvation
- Simulate gluconeogenesis by the liver
Hormones Affecting Blood Glucose: Growth Hormone - Answer - Increases protein synthesis
in all calls of the body
- Mobilizes fatty acids from adipose tissue
- Antagonizes the effects of insulin
Diabetes Mellitus - Answer Disorder of Metabolism:
