Homeostasis
The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis!
An important hormone in the regulation of blood glucose after eating
What is insulin
The two types of feedback loops
What is Positive and Negative Feedback
The two types of diabetes
What is type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Root cause of type 2 diabetes
What is lifestyle
Disrupts homeostasis
What is disease or illness!
Lack of insulin function which causes elevated glucose levels in the bloodstream
What is diabetes
The type of feedback that has an INCREASE in one action causing an INCREASE in another
What is positive feedback
Little to no insulin is released
What is type 1 diabetes
Normal Blood Pressure
What is 120/80
Name three aspects of the body that must be maintained in order to achieve homeostasis.
What is pH, Body Temperature, and Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Respiration Rate, Fluid Balance, etc...
Produces insulin in order to regulate blood glucose levels in the body
What is the pancreas (beta cells)
An example of positive and negative feedback
What is Positive Feedback- Childbirth Negative Feedback- Heat in your house, Fever in the body, and Blood Glucose Regulation
Name three symptoms of diabetes
What is Excessive Thirst, Hunger, and Excessive Urination
The charge of DNA (Negative or Positive)
What is a negative charge
The balanced levels of pH, Body Temperature, and Blood Sugar are... (Numbers)
What is pH 7, Body Temperature 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), Blood Sugar 80-120 mg/dL
The process of blood glucose regulation
What is glucose enters bloodstream, pancreas produces insulin, insulin connects with insulin receptors in cell membrane, glucose transport proteins pull glucose into the cell, glucose is absorbed into cell and used for cellular respiration
Most common feedback in the body and nature
What is negative feedback
Pancreas can produce insulin but glucose cannot get into cell possibly due to fat buildup on the cell membrane (insulin resistance)
What is type 2 diabetes
Normal Heart Rate
What is 60-80 BPM
If homeostasis is not achieved this occurs...
What is death!
The feedback loop that regulates blood glucose level in blood
What is negative feedback
The control of body temperature, heart rate, and the concentration of sugar in the blood are all regulated by
What is feedback mechanism
The old names for type 1 and type 2 diabetes
What is Type 1- Juvenile Diabetes Type 2- Adult Onset Diabetes
Normal Respiration Rate
What is 10-20 breaths per minute
