What else can I help you with?
What would happen if the body did not send a signal when blood glucose levels rose?
the body would not be able to control sugar levels in the blood
What does high blood levels of glucose stimulates the release of?
High blood levels of glucose stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells for energy production and storage.
How can I effectively check my blood glucose levels?
I would suggest checking with your physician or pharmacist. Based upon your medical history, one of these individuals will be able to tell you which method of glucose monitoring is best for you.
How might these results be different if this individual was not able to produce sufficient levels of insulin?
C) The maximum level of blood glucose would be higher.
What effect would insulin receptors have on blood sugar if they stopped working?
If insulin receptors stopped working, the cells would not be able to take in glucose from the bloodstream effectively. As a result, blood sugar levels would increase because the body would not be able to properly regulate glucose uptake. This could lead to high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and potentially result in symptoms associated with diabetes.
Would you expect to find glucose in urine if the blood supply in the kidney has a high level of glucose?
Yes, if the blood supply to the kidney has a high level of glucose, you might expect to find glucose in the urine, especially if the renal threshold for glucose reabsorption is exceeded. Under normal circumstances, the kidneys reabsorb most of the glucose from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. However, when blood glucose levels are significantly elevated, as in uncontrolled diabetes, the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its presence in the urine.
Glucose can be elevated in the blood of a diabetic person Relate this information to glucose in the urine and glucose carriers?
When blood glucose levels are high in a diabetic person, the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to glucose spilling into the urine (glucosuria). Glucose carriers, such as SGLT2 in the kidney tubules, may become saturated, causing excess glucose to be excreted in the urine. This can be an indication of uncontrolled diabetes and a mechanism for reducing high blood glucose levels.
What would happen if someone lost all blood at once?
Oxygen and glucose (the body's source of energy) would not be able to be transported around the body. All the organs, muscles, tissue (everything really), would not be able to work and the body would cease functioning. Put simply, Blood=life, and NoBlood=death.
Why does your blood need to carry oxegyn and glucose?
Oxygen and glucose are essential for cellular respiration, the process by which cells produce energy. Oxygen is used by cells to break down glucose and generate ATP, the energy currency of the body. Without oxygen and glucose, cells would not be able to generate enough energy to carry out essential functions.
What is a glucose levels chart and can it help with diabetes?
It is a chart in which you would be able to find the range of blood sugar in healthy and diabetic people. Since you are diabetic, you would better check your blood sugar level regularly and try to keep in close to the normal range.
What would happen if adrenaline would be continuously released by the body?
You would have higher blood pressure, a higher heart rate, breathe more rapidly, have a higher blood glucose level, would not be digesting your food properly, and would not be able to sleep. After a short while, perhaps several days, you would probably die.
What happens to glucose as it passes through the kidney?
Glucose is typically reabsorbed in the kidneys and returned to the bloodstream. If blood glucose levels are high, the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its excretion in the urine, a condition known as glycosuria.
