Homeostasis
Blood Glucose Regulation
Feedback Loops
Diabetes
Random
100
The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis!
100
An important protein and hormone in the regulation of blood glucose
What is insulin
100
The two types of feedback loops
What is Positive and Negative Feedback
100
The two types of diabetes
What is type 1 and type 2 diabetes
100
Root cause of type 2 diabetes
What is lifestyle
200
Disrupts homeostasis
What is disease or illness!
200
Lack of insulin function which causes elevated glucose levels in the bloodstream
What is diabetes
200
An INCREASE in one action causes an INCREASE in another
What is positive feedback
200
Little to no insulin is released
What is type 1 diabetes
200
The number of human body systems in the body
What is 11
300
Three aspects of the body that must be maintained in order to achieve homeostasis.
What is oxygen, Body Temperature, and Blood Sugar!
300
Produces insulin in order to regulate blood glucose levels in the body
What is the pancreas (beta cells)
300
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
300
How you know you have high blood sugar.
What is high blood sugar concentration?
300
insulin and glucagon
What are the 2 hormones produced by the pancreas?
400
Maintaining balanced levels of oxygen, temperature, water, and waste
What is homeostasis?
400
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
400
Most common feedback in the body and nature
What is negative feedback
400
Pancreas can produce insulin but glucose cannot get into cell possibly due to fat buildup on the cell membrane.
What is type 2 diabetes
400
The four manners of death
What is Natural, Accident, Suicide, Homicide
500
If homeostasis is not achieved this occurs...
What is death!
500
The feedback loop that regulates blood glucose level in blood
What is negative feedback
500
The control of body temperature, heart rate, and the concentration of sugar in the blood are all regulated by
What is feedback mechanism
500
After a meal blood glucose increases but does not naturally decrease over time.
What is diabetes?
500
Nervous - communicates with nerve cells to send messages Endocrine - glands produce hormones to communicate with specific cells
What body systems work together to keep feedback mechanisms functioning? What do they do?
