Which process returns glucose to the blood?
reabsorption
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?
homeostasis
What process returns excess tissue fluid to the blood?
The Lymphatic System .
How do glucose meters operate?
Glucose meters process a blood sample usually taken by a small lancet pricking the skin of a finger. The blood is oxidated by glucose oxidaze and the resulting gluconulactone are counted.
By which process does glucose move into red blood cells from the plasma?
Facilitated Diffusion
Blood has traveled from heart to the fingers. which describes the next step of the circulation process?
The blood returns to the heart through veins.
Where does the sugar in your blood come from?
Blood sugar comes from the foods you eat. Food is broken down into glucose in the digestion process
What signals the liver to store or release glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone created by the pancreas that signals the liver to release glucose when the blood sugar level is dangerously low by converting glycogen (glucose converted for long term "storage") into glucose in the process known as glycogenolysis. Insulin is the hormone created by the pancreas that tells the liver to convert excess glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar level is high in the process known as glycogenesis.
What is the overall process that refines the filtrate and ultimately returns water and valuable solutes to the blood is known as?
reabsorption
Explain how the blood sugar gets back to normal from being low?
Your blood sugar will become low once you are fasting, and when that happens the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans will allow glucogen to be release. Glucogen promotes the conversions of glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood. As glycogen is converted to glucose in the liver the blood sugar level returns to normal.
Is glucose a blood sugar?
Correct, glucose is a blood sugar.
Is a reading of 137 of concern for blood glucose?
A fasting blood glucose of 137 is a concern. A random blood glucose of 137 is not a concern.
