What is the sensor and integrator and effector of the blood glucose feedback loop?
The sensor in a negative feedback loop monitors the state of the variable, in this case blood glucose. For blood glucose, the sensor as well as the integrator is the Islets of Langerhans, since it contains the alpha and beta cells. Alpha cells produce glucagon, a hormone that acts on the liver to release more glucose into the blood. Beta cells produce insulin, which controls the uptake of glucose into the cells. The effectors respond to the sensor's messages, and act to maintain a variable. The effectors for blood glucose are the cells which take in glucose, as well as the liver.
What structure or organ is acting as the sensor with high blood glucose?
Kidney
What are method for measuring blood glucose?
Common methods for measuring blood glucose include using a glucose meter to test a drop of blood from a finger prick, continuous glucose monitoring systems that provide real-time glucose readings through a sensor inserted under the skin, and laboratory blood tests that measure glucose levels in a blood sample taken from a vein.
How is glucokinase regulated?
Glucokinase is often referred to as the 'glucose sensor' as it directly relates the rate of β-cell glucose-dependent insulin secretion and the rate of hepatocyte glucose metabolism to the ambient blood glucose level. Read more in related link below.
What is the carbohydrate that is found in abundance in mammalian blood?
Glucose
What is bio sensor?
it is a device that consisting of immobilized layer of biological materials like enzymes,antibody,hormone,nucleic acid,organelles or a whole cell and its contacts with a sensor. The sensor converts the biological signals into electrical signals. It is used medicine and industry.For example:blood glucose level can be detected using biosensor
How is glucose measured in the body and what methods are commonly used for accurate monitoring?
Glucose levels in the body are typically measured through blood tests, using a device called a glucometer. This device requires a small blood sample, usually obtained by pricking the finger. Continuous glucose monitoring systems are also commonly used, which involve a sensor inserted under the skin to provide real-time glucose readings. These methods are accurate and commonly used for monitoring glucose levels in the body.
What are the new instrument used to measure blood glucose?
You can get your blood glucose level checked at your local doctor's office, pharmacist, or by purchasing a blood glucose machine. You can buy them online, at your doctor's office, or at your pharmacist.
Is Glucose a component of all three dietary disaccharides?
No, glucose is a component of two dietary disaccharides: maltose (glucose + glucose) and lactose (glucose + galactose). Sucrose (glucose + fructose) does not contain glucose.
Can you use glucose in a recipe that calls for liquid glucose?
glucose? i think glucose is a different thing than liquid glucose.
Does a glucose test strip measure the amount of glucose or just presence of glucose?
Just the presence of glucose Just the presence of glucose
What contains more energy glucose or pyruvate?
glucose
