2 diabetes mellitus is the result of the pancreas being unable to produce adequate amounts of insulin and the resistance of cells to insulin. This results in glucose remaining in the blood and not being taken up by the cells leading to hyperglycemia. Because of insulin’s role in the stimulation of the synthesis of protein and the storage of fatty acids in adipose tissue‚ inadequate amounts of insulin also reduces nutrients that are essential for fuel and storage being accessed by tissues. Beta

Foods high in fact include fried food‚ most desserts‚ whole milk dairy products‚ and fatty cuts of meat. (Columbia College Department of Surgery‚ 2012). A diet low in fruits and vegetables would also play a part. If the pancreas is not producing insulin‚ type 2 diabetes can be a risk or a complication of pancreatic cancer. (American Cancer Society‚ 2014). Those with a family history of pancreatic cancer are

Section 1: Simply put‚ homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment in the body. (Givens and Reiss‚ 2002). To look into this definition further‚ according to Walter Cannon‚ homeostasis can be described as the way the brain coordinates body systems‚ with the aim of maintaining a set of goal values for key internal variables (Goldstein‚ 2008). Homeostasis aims to maintain a constant internal environment helping to keep internal conditions at an optimum in order for all cells in

an example of a behavioural response to changes in the outside environment. A physiological response to changes in the environment would be when our blood glucose levels decrease due to the release of insulin and glucagon is then released in order to maintain these levels. The release of glucagon in the body results in the release of glucose by the body’s cells. The body responds to changes in the external environment in many different ways. Some examples of homeostatic responses would be a change

The equine endocrine system is a group of organs that release hormones in the horses body to regulate things like growth‚ metabolism‚ and reproduction. Hormones production is directed by brain signals caused by outside stimuli and it maintained through negative and positive feedback loops. One of the main organs in the endocrine system is the pituitary gland located on the floor of the skull. The hormones produced by the pituitary have a variety of functions from metabolism to reproduction. The most

Chapter 3 The Body I. The cell The cell is the basic unit of life in our bodies. It has many “little organs” in them called organelles. Organelles have very specific functions. One example of an organelle is the mitochondria. Cells require nutrients and get rid of waste and live and die- just like us. II.

The Endocrine System The endocrine system regulates the functioning of every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ in the body. It acts to maintain a stable internal body environment‚ regardless of changes occurring within or outside of the body. Endocrine cells have the ability to sense and respond to changes via the excretion of specific chemicals known as hormones. The endocrine system is one of the body’s two major communication systems‚ the nervous system being the other. Communication within the nervous
