Which organs contain glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme?
The liver.
What hormone regulates your blood sugar?
Every cell in your body requires a constant supply of glucose for energy. Since glucose is transported around the body to those cells, blood sugar levels in the blood need to be regulated. In fact, blood glucose needs to maintained within fairly strict limits because problems will result if those levels get too low (hypoglycaemia), or too high (hyperglycaemia). The control of blood sugar levels is determined by the hormones insulin and glucagon, which are secreted into the blood by the pancreas.When blood sugar levels are too high, the pancreas secretes insulin, which makes cells in the Liver, Muscle, and Fat Tissue take up glucose (sugar) from the blood, and can be converted to glycogen, for storage. Converting glucose to glycogen lowers blood sugar levels, because glycogen does not affect blood sugar levels. Diabetes is when Insulin does not affect cells as much as it should do, and blood sugar stays high.When the level of blood glucose is low, then glucagon is secreted from the pancreas, and the cells convert glycogen back into glucose.If there are low amounts of both glucose and glycogen, glucose can be made from other substances in a process called gluconeogenesis.Basically, insulin lowers your blood sugar level because it pulls the sugar out of the blood stream to provide nutrients to other organs and tissues in the body. It gets more complicated, but this should give you a general idea.
What part of the skeletal system protects the organs in the lower body?
helps from being damaged
Is it more harmful for an organism to have a damaged cell or damaged organ?
Depends on how the cell is damaged and on which organ and how it's damaged as well. Some single cells can become malignant tumores and bring about the death of the body while you might easily remove some kinds of organs without major consequence, such as one kidney, one lung, spleen etc.
What organs are capable of turning lactate in glucose?
The conversion of lactate to glucose (see gluconeogenesis ) takes place almost exclusively in the liver, but lactate can be metabolized by the kidney and nervous tissue as well.
What organs are damaged if the glucose level in the blood gets too high?
lungs
How is the blood level of of insulin controlled and regulated?
Well the hormone insulin takes glucose from the blood and shares it with other organs needing it. If Insulin isnt produced than this process isnt occuring which makes your blood have higher glucose levels, the insulin isnt doing its job.
Are there any insulin independent tissues or organs?
Yes, there are insulin-independent tissues or organs in the body. Examples include the brain, liver, and kidney. These organs can uptake and utilize glucose without the presence of insulin. However, insulin is still important for regulating glucose levels in the body and its absence or dysfunction can lead to complications such as diabetes.
Name the two main organs that are involved in blood sugar levels?
The two main organs involved in blood sugar regulation are the pancreas and the liver. The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon, hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, while the liver stores excess glucose and releases it as needed to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Can an MRI see damaged organs?
no
Is it common for a child to get their pancreas damaged?
No. It's not common for any child to get any of their organs damaged.
What happens to the organisms of tissues organs organs systems if these cells are damaged or diseased?
the organism will die.
What is the most abundant sugar in the human blood?
Glucose (or blood sugar) is a type of sugar. When we eat food, especially carbohydrate rich food, like pasta, bread, potatoes, etc, the sugar and starch are digested by the body. They are broken down into simple sugars, like glucose. Glucose is very important for the body. We need energy, and our body gets energy by using glucose as the most important (primary) source. However, it is also very important how much glucose we have in the blood. Diabetes sufferers usually have high levels, which they have to control (keep at the right level) otherwise important organs of the body could be seriously damaged.

Which organs contain glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme?
The liver.
Glucagon prompts what organs to convert glycogen to glucose?
liver
What organs are not controlled by pituitary gland?
The heart, lungs.
How is energy obtained from food?
Food is the main source of carbohydrates, aminoacids, lipids and vitamins. Each of these are absorbed through the duodenum, yeyuni or ileum, by active and passive transports. They flow into the bloodstream and go through the liver, which is in charge of metabolizing these substances in order to store them and to keep normal glucose levels. Glucose is transformed into glycogen, and is slowly released to keep the 80/100g% standard glucose levels necessary for organs like brain and heart to function.
