Which term describes an abnormally high concentration of glucose in the blood?
Hyperglycemia.
An abnormally high blood glucose level is called?
Hyperglycemia.
Describes an abnormally low concentration of glucose in the blood?
An abnormally low concentration of glucose in the blood is known as hypoglycemia. This condition can cause symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, weakness, and in severe cases, seizures or loss of consciousness. It is important to address hypoglycemia promptly by consuming fast-acting carbohydrates or seeking medical attention.
What is the definition of hyperglycemia?
The level of blood glucose is abnormally high.
What monosaccharide found in the blood has its concentration regulated by the hormones insulin and glucagon?
Glucose is called blood sugar.
What is apoxemia?
Apoxemia is an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in arterial blood.
What is hypo proteinemia?
an abnormally low concentration of protein in the blood. and its hypoproteinemia
Is there the same concentration of glucose when blood goes into the muscle and when it comes out?
Muscle requires glucose, and so there is not the same concentration of glucose in blood entering and exiting a muscle. The exiting blood will be lower in glucose.
Which organ monitors concentration of glucose in the blood?
The pancreas monitors blood glucose levels through specialized cells called beta cells located in the islets of Langerhans. These cells secrete the hormone insulin in response to high blood glucose levels to regulate and maintain glucose concentration within a normal range.
Is blood the higher concentration of glucose?
Yes
Normally when the concentration of glucose in the blood falls below a certain level stored glucose reenters the blood until the original concentration of blood glucose is part of the process known as?
This process is known as glycogenolysis, where stored glycogen in the liver is broken down into glucose and released into the blood to maintain blood glucose levels.
Insulin causes a a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose b an increase in the concentration of blood glucose?
Insulin causes a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells, especially muscle and adipose tissue. It also stimulates the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscle.
