What is the first use of protein in a case of starvation?
rebuild tissue
What is the medical term meaning tissue wasting due to a decrease in cell number?
The medical term for tissue wasting due to a decrease in cell number is atrophy. This can occur from lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, or certain medical conditions.
What is the last group of organic compounds to be used as an energy source during starvation?
tissue protein
After how long of not eating does your body go into starvation mode?
It would take a few days of not eating for your body to go into starvation mode. When the body goes into starvation mode, it begins to use fat reserves, muscle and tissue for fuel.
Can starvation lead to the development of diabetes?
Starvation can lead to the development of diabetes because the body may start to break down muscle tissue for energy, which can increase blood sugar levels and potentially lead to insulin resistance.
The tissue that always has a free surface exposed to the internal or external environment?
Epithelial tissue is the type of tissue that always has a free surface exposed to the internal or external environment. This tissue serves as a protective barrier or lining for organs and cavities in the body.
What happens to your body doesn't have portien?
tissue and muscle wasting. Really just about everything breaks down. Your body needs protein to live.
Starvation causes the plasma protein levels in the blood plasme to fall how would that affect the formation of tissue fluid in the tissue spaces?
Starvation causes the plasma protein levels to decrease, and when there is less plasma protein in the blood, you get lower Po (Osmotic Pressure). Lower osmotic pressure means less pull (of tissue fluid) so this causes generalized edema.so basically, less plasma proteins -> decreased Po -> less pull -> reduced venous clearance --> fluid build up in tissue
What is starvation reflex?
The starvation reflex is the body's response to prolonged periods of food deprivation. It includes a decrease in metabolic rate, conservation of energy, and breakdown of muscle tissue for energy. This reflex is an evolutionary mechanism to help sustain life during times of famine.
Why is an organ always made of tissue but a tissue is not always considered an organ?
Cells make up tissues and tissues make up organs, not the other way around.Every single organ in the body is made of some sort of organic tissue. This does not mean that all tissue is considered an organ. Tissue such as the Epidermis (skin), Muscle Tissue, Nervous Tissue, Epithelial Tissue, and Connective Tissue are Organic tissues that we do not consider to be Organs.
What is ventricular atrophy of the heart?
It is a reduction in the size of a cardiac ventricle. This can be due to prolonged immobilization or from the tissue degeneration (wasting away), that follows with debilitating chronic illnesses.
What is the medical term meaning progressive atrophy or weakening of a body part such as the muscles?
myolysisrhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of muscle fibers. This releases the contents of the fibers into the blood stream. Rhabdomyolysis can be caused by damage to the muscle itself.Muscular AtrophyDegeneration of muscle tissue is known as myolysis.
