What type of secretion is insulin?
Insulin is an endocrine hormone secreted by the pancreas. You could call it endocrine or pancreatic secretion.
Is diabetes an example of hypersecretion hyposecretion or receptor problem?
Diabetes mellitus is not caused by a hypersecretion of insulin. A person with diabetes either produces too little insulin, or a normal amount of insulin that is not recognized by other cells in the body. Diabetes is caused by a lack of effective insulin. In type 1 diabetes the pancreatic beta cells are not producing sufficient insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when insulin sensitivity in target cells has decreased, so the insulin is no longer causing glucose uptake.
Which glands produce insulin?
In humans only the pancreas produces insulin. There are clusters of specialized cells in the pancreas called Islets of Langerhans. The cell type in the Islets that produce insulin are beta cells. (Other cell types in the Islets produce other hormones.)
What is a insulin pump and how is it used in space?
Well, an Insulin Pump is a little device that kind of looks like a cell phone. It produces insulin for your body if you have diabetes, if you want to know what an insulin pump looks like go to Google and type in: Insulin pump. There is many different kinda of pumps. And I'm not sure if there used in space....
When exogenous DNA is used to make insulin which type of cell produces the insulin?
Bacterial cells are commonly used in biotechnology to produce insulin using exogenous DNA. The exogenous DNA encoding for human insulin is introduced into the bacterial cells, which then serve as a host to produce the insulin protein through the process of genetic engineering.
The pancreas produces what kind of juice?
The pancreas is located in the abdomen behind the stomach; this organ is responsible for converting the food which we eat into fuel for our bodies. The type of juice that can be found in the pancreas is called pancreatic juice, which is made up of digestive enzymes.
What causes the pacreas to stop making or producing insulin?
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which there is an absence or insufficient production of insulin. Two major classifications of diabetes are Type I or insulin-dependent mellitus (IDDM) and Type II, non-insulin dependent mellitus (NIDDM). Though many Type II diabetics use insulin but may still retain some degree of pancreatic function.
The type of cell division that produces daughter cells is?
The type of cell division that produces daughter cells is MEIOSIS.
What is the medical term meaning autoimmune insulin deficiency disorder caused by the destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells?
type 1 diabetestype 1 diabetesdiabetesDiabetes Mellitus Type I.
When your body destroys the pancreatic cells that produce insulin it leads to a condition?
Type 1 diabetes. This autoimmune condition causes the immune system to mistakenly attack and destroy insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to a deficiency of insulin in the body and resulting in high blood sugar levels that require management through insulin therapy.
Which pancreatic cells secrete insulin?
A group called beta pancreatic cells produce insulin. Insulin is a molecule which carries glucose across the cell membrane. Alpha pancreatic cells produce glucagon which is involved in reducing glycogen stored in the liver into glucose.
What organ of the digestive system is associated with diabetes?
The pancreas is the organ associated with diabetes in the digestive system. It plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels by producing insulin. In people with diabetes, the pancreas either produces insufficient insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or the body becomes resistant to the insulin produced (Type 2 diabetes).
