secreted depending on the blood glucose levels. Alpha cells of the pancreatic islets secrete glucagon and beta cells of the pancreatic islets secrete insulin (Marieb‚ 2012). Insulin and glucagon are equally important in managing blood glucose‚ making sure the body functions well. Glucose‚ which comes from the food we eat‚ is important to fueling your body. A decline in the blood glucose level below its normal range causes the nervous system to malfunction because glucose is its main source of energy

Overview: Life at the Edge The plasma membrane separates the living cell from its nonliving surroundings. This thin barrier‚ 8 nm thick‚ controls traffic into and out of the cell. Like all biological membranes‚ the plasma membrane is selectively permeable‚ allowing some substances to cross more easily than others. Concept 7.1 Cellular membranes are fluid mosaics of lipids and proteins The main macromolecules in membranes are lipids and proteins‚ but carbohydrates are also important. The

The average adult blood volume is approximately 5 to 6 liters or which approximately 3 liters is plasma. The remaining 2 or 3 liters of volume consists of red blood cells and erythrocytes (which transport oxygen and important body buffers). * Transcellular Fluid – This is fluid contained

that for every 50 g increase in DP from animal sources‚ there will be a 1.6–2 mmol increase in 24-h urinary calcium excretion (Maurer et al‚ 2003). The metabolic process that causes this hypercalciuria is the catabolism of amino acids rather than glucose. In times of dietary oversupply‚ the nitrogen of amino acids is eliminated via transamination‚ deamination‚ and urea formation and the carbon skeletons are generally used to feed into carbohydrate metabolism. These ketone bodies have a great propensity

Living with Juvenile Diabetes Diabetes medically known as diabetes mellitus is the name given to disorders in which the body has trouble regulating its blood glucose‚ or blood sugar‚ levels. Diabetes is due to one of two mechanisms inadequate production of insulin (which is made by the pancreas and lowers blood glucose) or inadequate sensitivity of cells to the action of insulin. (Definition). There are two different forms of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent
