This kind of results shows that most of patient number 3 body organs are not functioning effectively. Patient number 3 probably has malfunctioned pancreas‚ liver‚ and kidney. The pancreas plays a crucial role in controlling the levels of glucose in the bloodstream. It releases hormones (glucagon and insulin) which help in regulating blood sugar. Liver cells absorb amino acids to trigger off a series of chemical reactions

Diabetes Diabetes is a condition where the pancreas secretes an insufficient supply of insulin or the body does not use the insulin efficiently. Normally‚ when the pancreas produces the right amount of insulin to accommodate the quantity of sugar. However‚ when the person has diabetes‚ either the pancreas produces little or no insulin or the cells do not respond normally to the insulin. Sugar accumulates up in the blood‚ overflows into the urine and then passes from the body unused. Now if this

stomach. The lower part of the stomach mixes this by muscle action. It then slowly empties the contents into the small intestine. Fats stay in the stomach the longest followed by protein and carbohydrate. As food dissolves into juices from the pancreas‚ liver and intestine‚ the contents in intestine are mixed and pushed to allow further digestion. Finally nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls and transported through the body. The waste product of this process unclude undigested food

Enzyme Assignment Research SBI4U Test A2 Table of Contents 1. What are the function roles and biological significance of the enzyme? Trypsin is part of the digestive system and degrades proteins‚ making it an enzyme known as protease. [1] It is one of the three principal digestive proteinases‚ the other two being pepsin and chymotrypsin. [9] Trypsin primarily hydrolyses peptides into smaller building-blocks‚ mainly amino acids (these peptides are the result of

Digestive juices from the gallbladder‚ liver‚ pancreas and gland cells in the intestinal wall mix here with chyme to continue with digestion Pancreas • As a digestive organ‚ the pancreas secretes hydrolytic enzymes and a buffer into the duodenum. The pancreas also acts as an endocrine gland Liver • Regulating blood sugar levels • Converting lactic acid to glycogen • Lipid regulation • Deamination

1. Anatomy- study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts. Physiology- study of how the body and its parts work or function. The relationship between anatomy and physiology is that anatomy has to do with the structures and names of the body‚ while physiology has to do with the function and how the structure works. An example of their correspondence is the cardiovascular system‚ consisting of the heart and blood vessels (anatomy) and how the heart pumps oxygen‚ nutrients‚ and wastes

levels by the pancreas. An influx of glucose‚ from say a carbohydrate-heavy dinner‚ triggers the pancreas to produce the hormone insulin. This hormone’s ‘message’ to the body is to take up the extra sugar into cells in order to bring blood sugar back to the target level‚ or set point. Once enough glucose has been taken up by cells‚ the pancreas will stop secreting insulin. This feedback loop can help in the opposite situation as well. If blood sugar levels are too low‚ the pancreas excretes glucagon
