(DM) 2 which is common in middle age people. Diabetes mellitus and other pancreatic gland disorders disrupt the production of several hormones‚ including insulin‚ that regulate metabolism and digestion. Insulin is essential to the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream into body cells for conversion into cellular energy. This essay will explain casual factors‚ clinical features‚ prognosis‚ therapeutic treatments and nursing care of patient with diabetes mellitus. The article‚ ‘ prevention

diabetes before‚ have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy. It may precede development of type 2 diabetes. Glucose levels vary before and after meals‚ and at various times of day. The normal range for most people (fasting adults) is about 80 to 110 mg/dl. A subject with a consistent range above 126 mg/dl is generally held to have hyperglycemia‚ whereas a consistent range below 70 mg/dl is considered hypoglycemic. In fasting adults‚ blood plasma glucose should not exceed 126 mg/dL. Sustained

Cellulose Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5)n‚ a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants‚ many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms. Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth. The cellulose content of cotton fiber is 90%‚ that of wood is 40–50% and

“The circulatory system is responsible for the delivery of blood‚ and therefore glucose in the blood‚ round the body” (Circulatory system and diabetes). The heart is the main organ in the circulatory system‚ it pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs and oxygenated lungs to the rest of the body and organs. The hear contains two chambers‚ two atria and two ventricles. Oxygen-poor blood enters the heart through the vena cava and goes into the right atrium‚ the tricuspid valve opens to transport the blood

Hormones and the Endocrine System 26.1 Chemical and electrical signals coordinate body functions The Endocrine System is a group of interacting glands and tissues throughout the animal body that produce and secrete chemical to initiate and maintain body functions and activities. Chemical Signals -Hormones - are released into the bloodstream by endocrine cells and carried to all locations in the body Consists of all hormone secreting cells Works with the nervous system in regulating body activities

Case Study 1 1.) Define hypoglycemia. What are hypoglycemic blood glucose values in an adult? Hypoglycemia: Low blood glucose level that results from too much insulin‚ not enough food‚ or excess activity. It is defined as the presence of Whipple’s triad: manifestations consistent with low blood glucose‚ a low plasma glucose concentration‚ and resolution of symptoms or signs after plasma glucose concentration is raised. Four common causes are: 1.) excess insulin‚ 2.) deficient intake or absorption

Laboratory Report The Plasma Membrane I. Introduction The Plasma membrane is the edge of life‚ the boundary that separates the cell from its surroundings. It controls the traffic of materials in and out of the cell. (Reece‚ 2011). It is incredibly thin that is very vital in maintaining the integrity of the cell. Not only does the plasma membrane bind the other organelles‚ it also forms a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion
