Does insulin increase blood pressure glucose or calcium?
Insulin takes glucose from the blood and converts it glycogen that can be stored in the liver and muscles.Insulin can increase blood pressure in a reaction called metabolic syndrome. It decreases glucose and developing studies show that developing diabetes may increase calcium levels which can affect artery calcium deposits. These deposits are associated with high blood pressure.
What condition causes insulin to be released by beta cells?
Insulin is released from the pancreatic beta cell due to a symphony of signals. 1st is the increase intracellular level of glucose after we eat. As glucose increases this also increases the intracellular ATP. The increase in ATP closes Potassium channels. This depolarizes the cell. The depolarization opens voltage gated calcium channels and the influx of calcium. Then in a complicated process this causes more calcium to enter the cell from the ER. The huge influx of calcium into the cell cause the insulin containing vesicles to move to the membrane for release of the insulin into the blood stream.
How does insulin help glucose enter your blood cells?
Insulin helps glucose enter your blood cells by binding to insulin receptors on the cell membrane, which triggers a series of chemical reactions inside the cell that allow glucose to be transported from the bloodstream into the cell for energy production.
What things does our blood carry?
the things we carry in our blood are food (eg. Glucose), minerals (iron+calcium), vitamens,hormones,urea,water,Co2 + oxygen.
How does glucose enter cells from the blood stream?
Glucose is basically sugar so i would say by mouth.
What happens to the concentration of the blood glucose if not enough insulin is produced?
If not enough insulin is produced, the concentration of blood glucose will increase because insulin is responsible for helping glucose enter cells to be used for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose remains in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels, a condition known as hyperglycemia.
How does glucose normally enter the blood?
Glucose is normally absorbed into the blood through the small intestine after we consume carbohydrates in our diet. The glucose molecules are broken down during digestion and then transported across the intestinal lining into the bloodstream. Once in the blood, glucose is carried to cells throughout the body to provide energy.
What does insulin cause the liver to change glucose into?
Insulin causes the glucose in your blood to enter the cells for energy. It does not cause the liver to change glucose into anything. Your liver does, however, store extra sugar in the form of glucagon.
Which of the thyroid hormones induces calcium to leave the blood and enter bones for increased bone formation?
parathormone or parathyroid hormone
What molecule movement is when glucose leave your blood streem and enter your cells by attaching to specialized carrier proteins?
Facillitated diffusion
Can glass enter the bloodstream?
not really... the piece of glass should be as small as a glucose molecule to be able to get into the blood stream! :D
