Why is monitoring blood glucose levels more accurate that monitoring glucose levels in the urine?
The liver and pancreas release glucose right into the blood, therefore you will get a more accurate amount if you test your blood.
What is another name for glucose?
Another name for Glucose is Dextrose
Describe how silver chloride powder and glucose powder can be separated?
Put the glucose powder on your left-hand side and the silver chloride powder on your right-hand side. My goodness, it can be sooo easy!
Why should you wait to run after you've eaten?
One reason you should wait to run after you've eaten is because after you eat, insulin is released into your blood to lower your glucose levels. This release actually causes a dip in homeostatic glucose levels. So when you eat your glucose levels go up shortly and then go down below where it was before you at. It takes some time for your glucose level to rise back up slightly to the normal level. If you run right after you eat, that dip in glucose will occur while your running and you won't have the energy (glucose) in your blood that helps you run.
What is the right amount of glucose that the blood is supposed to contain?
Why is that people sweat while shivering at the same time
Is testing blood glucose right after a meal too soon?
It's not magic. The testing of the glucose levels of your blood tell a sory for you and your doctor - how your body reacts to sugar, whether your medication levels are right, etc. As a consequence blood levels can be measured before a meal, a set period of time after a meal, after fasting. Establish with your doctor or health professional what schedule of testing you should be on, keep good records (most glucometers will do a lot of number crunching for you and some can tie into your home computer)
Where is the liver in relation to stomach?
Together, the liver and the Pancreas regulate blood-sugar or blood-glucose concentration. They do so by the Pancreas releasing two protein based hormones known as Glucagon and Insulin into the Liver. The liver then either starts the build up (if insulin is released) of glucose into starch, hence decreasing blood sugar concentration or the liver starts the break down (if glucagon is released) of starch into glucose hence increasing blood sugar concentration. These are required in maintaining homeostasis.
What will happen if the blood not same blood?
Well there will be a blood reaction.This should be stop right away.
Describe how someone with diabetes monitors blood sugar throughout the day?
By eating the right things and checking their sugar with a glucose meter
What allows blood to enter the right atrium?
The vena cava allows blood to enter the right atrium. Unlike the rest of the heart, there are no valves separated the vena cava and right atrium. However blood backflow is not an issue because the pressure difference between the right atrium and the vena cava is not great, and when the heart pumps it partially compresses the vena cava.
The Right and left ventricles are separated by the?
The right and left venrticles are separated by the interventicular septum.
What is the difference between the glucose and glycogen?
Glucose is a monosaccharide (or simple sugar) also known as grape sugar, blood sugar, or corn sugar, it is a very important carbohydrate in biology. Glycogen is a starch like carbohydrate stored in the liver and other animal tissues. It is changed into glucose when the body needs energy. Glucose is found in the body's blood. Everything we eat gives us energy. Glucose basically gives us this energy. The liver takes blood that has too much glucose in it and turns this into glycogen. When the correct amount of energy from the glucose is produced, the liver then turn the glucose into glycogen. The glycogen is then stored . When the body is low on energy (decrease in blood glucose), cells secrete glucagon. This breaks down the glycogen and turns it into glucose and releases it into the blood, so that the body can get the right amount of energy required. This process continues as the body tries to maintain a balance in energy. (:
