2026 SOLVED QUESTIONS

●● Glucose Regulation. Answer: Process of maintaining optimal blood
glucose levels


●● Hormonal Regulation. Answer: Process of regulating the secretion
and actions of hormones


●● Insulin (Blood Glucose Levels). Answer: Regulates blood glucose by
converting glucose to glycogen when levels are too high by increasing
nutrient uptake into target cells, glycolysis, glycogenesis, lipogenesis,
and protein synthesis


●● Catabolic. Answer: Breaking things down into their building blocks


●● Anabolic. Answer: Building things up to a more complex structure


●● Anabolic or Catabolic?


- Glycolysis
- Glycogenesis
- Glycogenolysis

,- Gluconeogenesis
- Lipolysis
- Protein Synthesis. Answer: - Glycolysis = C
- Glycogenesis = A
- Glycogenolysis = C
- Gluconeogenesis = A
- Lipolysis = C
- Protein Synthesis = A


●● Endocrine Pancreas. Answer: - 10-20% of pancreas
- Beta Cells = Insulin
- Alpha Cells = Glucagon
- Delta Cells = Somatostatin


●● Exocrine Pancreas. Answer: - 80-90% of pancreas
- Digestive Fluid
- Digestive Enzymes
- Water
- Bicarbonate


●● Glycogen. Answer: Stored glucose in liver cells and skeletal muscle
cells

, ●● Fed State = Insulin Dominates. Answer: - Increase nutrient uptake
into target cells
- Increase Glycolysis
- Increase Glycogenesis
- Increase Lipogenesis
- Increase Protein Synthesis


●● Fasted State = Glucagon Dominates. Answer: - Increase
Glycogenolysis
- Increase Gluconeogenesis
- Increase Lipolysis
- Ketogenesis


●● Counter-Regulatory Hormones (Blood Glucose Levels). Answer: -
Include glucagon and growth hormone
- Raise blood glucose levels by converting glycogen to glucose when
blood levels are too low by increasing glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis,
lipolysis, and ketogenesis


●● Stress (Blood Glucose Levels). Answer: Increase blood glucose by
activating the SNS, which releases epinephrine and cortisol
