Although there are large amounts of glucose available‚ it cannot be used‚ causing the body to make use of its fat and protein’s as a source of energy (Marieb & Hoehn 2007). When the body is lacking insulin‚ this causes a sugar build up in the body’s blood. Consequently the body’s cells feel as though they are starving‚ causing the patient to feel hungry (Marieb & Hoehn 2007). When the individual begins to eat more‚ their sugar levels continue to elevate

Ma. Bea Agatha Escueta HOMEOSTASIS Body systems act together to make a point that the body acts efficiently as a whole‚ with the brain as a command centre. “Homeostasis is derived from the Greek‚ homeo or ‘constant’; and stasis or ‘stable’ and means remaining stable or remaining the same.” (Wikipedia. 2013) It is the procedure by which the body keeps static surroundings in which cells‚ tissues‚ and systems can operate. If there’s an alteration happen‚ these procedures can stop‚ decompress or

digestive enzymes into the small intestine and an endocrine function by secreting insulin andglucagon into the blood by cells in the islets of Langerhans. Blood glucose levels are lowered by insulin by increasing the uptake of glucose by insulin-dependent tissues. Insulin-independent tissues include brain‚ liver‚ kidneys and red blood cells. Insulin is produced by beta cells while glucagon is made byalpha cells. Glucagon along with epinephrine‚ GH and glucocorticoids are hyperglycemic hormone that raise the

Zachary’s Story Unit 6 Case Study 1 AP2630 Rhonda Carter July 27‚ 2015 A. An ulcer starts by eroding the mucosa of the G.I. tract wall. What functions of digestion and/or reabsorption might be lost if this layer is no longer functional? What functions will be compromised if the ulcer eats through the submucosa and then the muscularis? Absorption would not happen correctly some of the ingested and secreted may seep out of the lumen. This also could create a pathway of entry for pathogens
