Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 3CQ
Core Concept: Systems Organ systems often exert dual control over variables such as blood pressure, respiration, and growth. How do the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon maintain glucose homeostasis? When are these hormones released into the blood? What might happen to a nonfasting mammal that was injected with a high dose of glucagon?

Exercise
Exercise places demands on the body. Cells require extra energy and water is lost through sweating. The breathing rate and heart rate increases during exercise to deliver more glucose and oxygen to cells which are converted to ATP through cellular respiration. Identify three hormones that are involved in re-establishing homeostasis after an intense workout and explain why they are involved.
Chronic stress or GC exposure can cause insulin resistance. The influence of GC on insulin is complex, but leads to hyperinsulinemia (high circulating insulin levels) and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is typically caused by a decreased number of insulin receptors on the cell surface. Speculate on a mechanism resulting in a decreased number of insulin receptors.

- Describe how blood sugar (e.g. glucose plasma concentration) is regulated with the hormones, insulin, and glucagon. For this feedback loop, identify the following components of the feedback loop: stimulus, receptor, control center, efferent pathway, effector, and response. Be comfortable with this feedback loop to be able to describe the effects of changing various components of the feedback loop.arrow_forwardA number of hormones in the body are responsible for controlling blood glucose levels. Some examples include insulin, glucagon, adrenaline, and cortisol.Select the FOUR numbers below that correctly show the pathway for insulin. Insulin is secreted when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin is secreted when blood sugar levels are low. Insulin is released from the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin is released from the alpha cells of the pancreas. Insulin makes cells more permeable to glucose. Insulin makes cells less permeable to glucose. Glycogen is taken up and converted to glucose. Glucose is taken up and converted to glycogen.arrow_forwardMatch the molecule involved in insulin signaling with what it does insulin receptor [Choose ] [Choose] physically pushes glucose out of the cell physically brings glucose into the cell binds to insulin and sends signal to cell a protein hormone that signals cells to import glucose signals cells to export glucose a carbohydrate taken into cells as an energy source glucose insulin glucose transporter [ Choose ] 近arrow_forward

Insulin's adverse side effects include headache, nau- sea, hunger, confusion and weakness. What can these symptoms be attributed to? Insulin has major effects on muscle and adipose tissue. It increases the rate of glucose transport across the cell membrane, decreases the rate of lipolysis, and increases uptake of triglycerides and some amino acids from the blood. In doing so, what metabolic processes does it favor? Carbohydrates: Lipids: Proteins:arrow_forwardFeedback loops regulate the release of hormones in either a positive or negative loop. Consider this example: The hypothalamus releases thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates the pituitary to release the TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). TSH then stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone. When elevated levels of thyroid hormone are detected by the hypothalamus and pituitary further release of TRH and TSH is suppressed. b. What would happen to the levels of TRH and TSH if a tumor of the thyroid gland were discovered resulting in uncontrolled release of the thyroid hormone from the tumor itself? * Your answer (LENGHT DOESN'T MATTER, I NEED IT ASASP PLEASE)arrow_forward

When insulin molecules bind to insulin receptors on the surface of a muscle cell, the receptors become activated, initiating a signaling pathway which eventually results in the increase in the number of passive glucose transporter on the muscle cell surface thus increases the uptake of glucose into the cell and decrease blood glucose level.
