interview with my granddad. Diabetes What is diabetes? Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong condition caused by a lack‚ or insufficiency of insulin. Insulin is a hormone – a substance of vital importance that is made by your pancreas. Insulin acts like a key to open the doors into your cells‚ letting sugar (glucose) in. In diabetes‚ the pancreas makes too little insulin to enable all the sugar in your blood to get into your muscle and other cells to produce energy. If sugar can’t get into the cells to

the hypermetabolic response include early surgical intervention‚ warm environment (28-33 C)‚ catabolic nutritional support and pharmacological agents such as insulin and ß- antagonists. The clinical manifestations are systemic hypertension‚ increased muscle protein degradation‚ persistent tachycardia (up to 2 years post burn)‚ insulin resistance‚ elevated core temperature‚ liver dysfunction and hyperventilation. Urine output is an accurate sign of successful fluid replacement in a burn

For millennia‚ chronic and acute severe pain treatment has been effective with opioids and in most places‚ they are a standard care. Conversely‚ continued opioid uses have brought about concerns on its safety‚ abuse liability and effectiveness which drive warning perceptions leading to a higher degree of the willingness to approve this treatment means. In the United States‚ the past decades have witnessed the shift of attitudes in response to epidemiological and clinical observations manifested in

proteins are transport ‚ for example haemoglobin‚ which allows oxygen to be transferred throughout the body. Defence‚ primarily by immunoglobulin‚ i.e. antibodies. Structure‚ such as collagen and elastin that form tissue. For hormones e.g. insulin and glucagon are important for controlling blood sugar. All enzymes are proteins‚ enzymes control most of the reactions found in living organisms‚ they also transfer substrate molecules. They have a specific shape due to a specific primary structure. They

Written Assignment 1 1) Identify the organs of the endocrine system‚ including their locations and structures. Hypothalamus: Is located below the thalamus just above the brainstem. Pituitary: Is location within the sella turcica which is a dip in the sphenoid bone. Structures are tropic hormone and neurohypophysis. Thyroid: A) Location: anteriorly‚ above the thyroid glad. B) Structures are the isthmus connecting the two lobe and thyroid follices and network of capillaries Adrenal:
