What is the definition of homeostasis?

Controlling the internal environment of the body at stable levels

Select the correct reasons why maintaining a constant internal environment is important.

Your cells need the right conditions in order to function properly (e.g. enzyme action) (correct)
It can be dangerous for your health if conditions vary too much from normal levels (correct)
It helps in saving energy for metabolic processes
It allows for better adaptation to environmental changes

Order the steps of blood glucose control if there is too little glucose:

Step 1 = There is too little glucose in the blood Step 2 = The pancreas stops making insulin and makes glucagon Step 3 = This glucagon in the bloodstream is transferred into glucose by the liver Step 4 = This causes there to be more glucose in the blood Signup and view all the answers

Order the steps of blood glucose control if there is too much glucose:

Step 1 = There is too much glucose in the blood Step 2 = The pancreas stops making glucagon and makes insulin Step 3 = This insulin in the bloodstream allows the liver to transfer glucose into glucagon Step 4 = This causes there to be less glucose in the blood Signup and view all the answers

Describe and explain the steps of blood glucose control if there is too little glucose.

There is too little glucose in the blood. The pancreas stops making insulin and makes glucagon. This glucagon in the bloodstream is transferred into glucose by the liver. This causes there to be more glucose in the blood. Signup and view all the answers

Describe and explain the steps of blood glucose control if there is too much glucose.

There is too much glucose in the blood. The pancreas stops making glucagon and makes insulin. This insulin in the bloodstream allows the liver to transfer glucose into glucagon. This causes there to be less glucose in the blood. Signup and view all the answers

Type 1 diabetes = Caused by a lack of insulin Type 2 diabetes = The person is resistant to insulin Signup and view all the answers

Explain how type 2 diabetes is caused?

Where the pancreas doesn't produce anough insulin or when a person becomes resistant to insuiln. This causes the blood glucose level to rise to a level that could kill them. Signup and view all the answers
