homeostasis and dianetes

• What is homeostatisis

  • maintaing a constant internal environment in response to flucutations in internal and external cvonditions
• what are 3 things controlled by homeostatsis

  • blood glucose concentration
  • temperature(thermoregulation)
  • water(osmoregulation)
• What happens when glucose concentrations are too high (when you eat a lot of carbs)

  • pancreases secretes insulin
  • insulin causes the muscle and liver cells to absorb more glucose
  • excess glucose is stored in the liver and converted into glucogen and lipids in some fatty cells
  • this causes the blood glucose concentration to decrease
• what happens when glucose concentration too low

  • pancreas detects low amounts of glucose and secrets glucagon
  • glucagon binds to liver cells and causes the excess glucogen to break down back into glucose
  • increases the amount glucose in the blood back to normal
• What is diabetes

  • where blood glucose levels in the blood stop working
  • there are two types
  • type 1 and type 2
• what is type 1 diabates

  • type 1 diabetes is when the body doesn't produce enough insulin
  • this means that blood glucose levels can get too high to a point where it can be lethal
• How to treat type 1 diabetes

  • type 1 is treated via insulin therapy so regular injectionss of insulin to regulate the amount of insulin in the blood
  • it also treated by a well diet (so not too many carbs) and it is also treated by regular exercise which release excess fat in the blood
• what is type 2 diabetes

  • where the cells in a person body becomes resistant to insulin
  • correlation between obesity and type 2 diabetes over 0.85 was it to hip in women and over 1 in men
• How to fix type 2 diabetes

  • regular exercise which increases the rate of respiration so that more glucose is removed from the blood
  • eating complex carbs rather than simple as they take longer to digest in the blood
