What does physiologic uptake mean in a bone scan?
There is metabolic activity in the bone at levels expected through normal (physiologic) processes.
Which pancreatic hormone stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells?
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
What does physiological increased uptake mean in a bone scan?
There is metabolic activity in the bone at levels expected through normal (physiologic) processes.
Which cell type in the pancreas is responsible for the uptake of glucose in cells?
Beta Islet Cells
What is the the organ the releases glucose in the bloodstream?
The small intestine adds glucose from the food you eat, into the blood stream. Perhaps you mean insulin which regulates the uptake of glucose. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets. The pancreas is the organ in this case.
Does liver produces insulin?
No, it is the beta cells of the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin, involved in glucose uptake by cells.
Which part of the body is responsible for the production insuline?
The pancreas has specialized cells taht make the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar uptake into the body.
What important chemical does the pancreas secrete to control carbohydrate and glucose sugar levels in the blood?
It secretes the hormone insulin, which controls the uptake of glucose by cells.
What is physiologic activity?
what is physiologic activity in the Liver,spleen, & colon
What is physiologic activity in the Liver spleen and colon?
what is physiologic activity in liver and spleen
What is physiologic activity in kidney and urinary bladder?
What is physiologic activity in kidney and urinary bladder
What does radiotracer uptake mean?
There are several sites of 'increased radio tracer uptake... These are most intense in the low thoracic & lumbar spine, associated with the scoliotic curvature and degenerative change, likely explanatory in that regard... Minor asymmetry with respect to the uptake seen in bone of the anterior ... & seen in some of the left rib functions ,,,,with costochondral cartilage ...uncertain whether this relates to the positioning created by the scoliosis. ...There is a small focus of increased uptake in the mid cervical spine to left of midline, likely degenerative. ...There is uptake at both wrists and to lesser extent, both shoulders. ...that distribution likely degenerative related. ...There is a tiny focus in a toe of the right foot, nonspecific. ...Elsewhere, radiotracer uptake appears physiologic. IMPRESSION: Multiple sites of increased radiotracer uptake, as described. This distribution is either characteristic degenerative change to include especially the lumbar spine. Nonspecific focus in a right toe. Otherwise, none of these sites would be considered especially suspicious for metastasis.
