Answer: B- Type II

Explanation:

Type 1

- Insulin dependent

- Diabetic ketoacidosis

- Genetics play a role

-Bodys own immune system attacks the insulin

Type 2

- Impaired Fasting Glucose

- Impaired Glucose Tolerance

- Formerly known as non-insulin dependent or adult onset

- Insulin produced, but there is a resistance – thus amount of insulin may be insufficient

What lobes are most damaged with TBIs

A- Frontal 

B- Parietal 

C- Temporal 

D- Occipital

Explanation:
an excess of glucose in the bloodstream, often associated with diabetes mellitus.

What does Insulin do to glucose in the body?

A-Transport into the body's cells where it is used for growth and energy

B-Remove the glucose from the body so sugar levels decrease

C-Prevent glucose from being released into the bloodstream

D-Move the glucose to a different area of the body

Answer: A-Transport into the body's cells where it is used for growth and energy

Explanation: "Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas and functions to regulate glucose metabolism. It transports glucose into the body's cells where it issues for growth and energy." (Atchison & Dirette, 2017, p.343)

This organ produces hormones such as ACTH, FSH, LH, GH, PRL, TSH, hGH, MSH, ADH, and OXT.

A) Thyroid glands

B) Thymus 

C) Pancreas

D) Pituitary Gland

Answer: D- Pituitary Gland. 

The thyroid glands produce hormones like T4, T3, and CT. 

The thymus is not a primary organ, producing thymosin, thymopoietin, and thymulin. 

The pancreas produces insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin.

Acanthosis Nigricans is a skin condition that causes dark discoloration in the body's skin folds, due most commonly to _______?
A. Insulin Acceptance
B. Insulin Deterrence
C. Insulin Resistance                                             D. Insulin Hindrance








Answer: C. Insulin Resistance  

Explanation:

Insulin Resistance is an impaired response of the body to insulin, resulting in elevated levels of glucose in the blood (a key component of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome). (Wilcox, 2005)

Excess insulin causes normal skin cells to reproduce at a rapid rate. For those with dark skin, these new cells have more melanin. This increase in melanin produces a patch of skin that's darker than the skin surrounding it. Thus, the presence of acanthosis nigricans is a strong predictor of future diabetes. (Barwell, 2019)

Answer: A- Insomnia, anxiety, abnormal thyroid function, intestinal hypersensitivity 

  • B: Adrenal Glands- Addison's, Cushing's, pituitary tumors

  • C: Pancreas- EPI, cystic fibrosis

  • D: Pituitary Gland- Prolactinoma, acromegaly, craniopharyngioma
