Homeostasis
Type 1 Diabetes
Insulin Resistance
Type 2 Diabetes
Complications
100
The ability of a system to maintain stability given disruptions and changes.
What is homeostasis?
100
A disease that results in too high blood glucose levels because the pancreas does not produce insulin.
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
100
The precursor to Type 2 Diabetes.
What is insulin resistance?
100
Insulin Resistance.
What is the precursor to Type 2 diabetes?
100
A condition resulting from diabetes in which capillaries begin to harden and deteriorate and the nerves they feed ultimately deteriorate as well.
What is diabetic neuropathy?
200
A set of diseases that results in too high blood glucose levels because the ability of the body to maintain blood glucose homeostasis malfunctions.
What is diabetes?
200
Insulin injections.
What is the treatment for Type 1 diabetes?
200
Poor diet high in sugar and processed, little exercise, extra body fat.
What is the cause of Insulin Resistance?
200
Pancreas continues to secrete extra insulin in response to high levels of blood glucose. This wears out the cells receptors and causes them to malfunction. The muscle, liver, and other target cells no longer respond accurately to the insulin signal. Over time, pancreas cells wear out as well and stop producing insulin.
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
200
Complications from diabetic neuropathy.
Blindness, hearing loss, amputations, kidney failure, heart attack.
300
Eating a cupcake, cookie, soda, or high-carbohydrate meal results in...
High blood glucose levels.
300
Genetic - and an autoimmune attack on the beta cells of the pancreas, which normally produce insulin.
What is the cause of Type 1 Diabetes?
300
Objects on muscle, fat, and liver cells that get worn out over time from overuse because of excessively high levels of blood glucose and insulin.
What are the target cell receptors?
300
Improve diet to reduce amount of sugar or processed foods, increase daily exercise, check blood glucose levels regularly, use insulin injections when appropriate.
What is the treatment for Type 2 Diabetes?
300
The hormone released by the pancreas in response to high glucose levels that tells liver, fat, and muscle cells to intake glucose.
What is insulin?
400
The human body gets cold, so it responds by shivering to warm up. If its too hot, it responds by sweating to cool down.
What is an example of homeostasis?
400
The hormone that the pancreas releases in response to low blood glucose levels. It signals to your fat and liver to release glucose into the blood stream.
What is glucagon?
400
Cells fail to respond to insulin signal, so glucose is stored as fat instead of taken in by muscle, liver, and body cells. Body cells aren't getting enough energy so you still feel hungry. You eat more, but again, insulin does not signal for the cells to uptake and use the energy.
What is the obesity - insulin resistance trap (or relationship)?
400
90%
What is the percentage of diabetics with Type 2 diabetes?
400
More of these occur in diabetics than in soldiers in or returning from wars.
What is amputations from diabetic neuropathy.
500
In response to high blood glucose levels, the pancreas releases insulin, which tells muscle and liver cells to uptake glucose. When glucose levels get too low (like after exercise or fasting), the pancreas releases glucagon, which tells fat and liver cells to release glucose.
What is the regulation (homeostasis) of blood glucose levels?
500
The percentage of all diabetes cases that are Type 1 Diabetes.
What is 10%
500
Improve diet to reduce amount of sugary and processed foods, daily exercise, stay hydrated.
What is treatment for insulin resistance?
500
List the historical and economic contributions to the increase in Type 2 Diabetes cases.
Increase in availability and affordability of processed and sugary foods. More sedentary lifestyles with advent of technology. Stigma around the disease and obesity.
500
A condition resulting from diabetic neuropathy in which people lose sensation in their extremities, often get an injury on their foot, and do not have the blood circulation to heal or feel the injury. It grows larger and becomes infected, and in many cases leads to amputation.
