What's a good online blood sugar chart?
There are many popular websites where one could find blood sugar levels online. These websites could be anything from WebMD to the American Diabetes Association. Both of these websites offer easy to read, free charts of blood sugar levels.
Where does selective reabsorption of glucose takes place in the nephron?
Selective reabsorption of glucose occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. Glucose is filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus, and then reabsorbed back into the blood through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule.
What are the differences between different types of diabetes testing equipment?
Home blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of glucose in the body. It involves using testing strips, where you place a drop of blood to determine glucose levels.
How do you carry out the test for glucose?
You can carry out a blood glucose test at home by using a blood glucose monitor. The test involves pricking your finger with a lancet, drawing a blood drop, and a test strip sipping up the blood for the monitor. A reading is given telling you the blood glucose level.
Where is the tenth's place on a place value chart?
The tenths place in the place value chart is in the second column.
Is there a place value chart in Spanish?
Yes, there is place value chart in Spanish.
What does a glucose meter measure?
Blood glucose monitors use capillary action to mix a sample of blood with glucose oxidase. This mixture, gluconic acid, mixes with yet another chemical called ferricyanide to create ferrocyanide. Using electrodes within the test strip, current is applied to the ferrocyanide. The concentration of glucose has a direct effect on the current that is then translated into a measurement that is reasonably accurate.

What is a place value chart?
A place value chart is used to help understand the value of each digit based on the place or position.
What two substances are needed for respiration to take place?
Oxygen and glucose are needed for respiration to take place. Oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration, while glucose is broken down to release energy in the form of ATP.
What is the pancreatic hormone called?
The pancreas essentially produces two hormones for blood glucose control. These are glucagon in response to low blood glucose levels and insulin in response to high blood glucose levels. The pancreas produces glucagon in response to low blood glucose levels. It is a linear polypeptide produced by the acini cells of the islets of langerhans. This hormone allows glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis to take place in the liver first and then muscle tissue. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose which is then released into blood plasma to increase blood glucose levels. This occurs in the liver until glycogen stores in the liver are depleted and muscle glycogen stores are used. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of amino acids to form glucose which is then released into blood plasma to increase blood glucose levels. It also stimulates lypolysis which is the break down of fats. The pancreas produces insulin in response to high blood glucose levels. It is also a polypeptide but is produced by the beta cells of the islets of langerhans. It increases cellular uptake of glucose which is removed from the blood, thus lowering blood glucose levels. This happens in most cells except the brain. It also fosters glycogen storage in the muscle and liver and promotes lipogenesis mainly in adipose tissue and the liver. It has one last effect. That is to stimulate protein synthesis from amino acids entering cells and inhibit protein degradation, effecting growth.
