Diabetes pharamcology Study online at https://quizlet.com/_g59skc 1. Name the two functions of 1. exocrine the pancreas 2. endocrine 2. What is the exocrine func- secretion of several enzymes into the duode- tion num to assist in the digestion of nutrients 3. What is the endocrine func- 1. Islets of Langerhans tion (4) 2. Secretion of glucagon/insulin 3. Alpha cells secret glucagon 4. Beta cells secret insulin 4. What 3 things does insulin carbs affect lipids proteins 5. Name 2 roles of insulin 1. assists in glucose transport = activating in- sulin receptors leads to internal cellular mech- anisms that uptake glucose 2. hypoglycemic affect = causes glucose to leave the blood and serum glucose to fall 6. T or F: The brain requires in- False: it does not require insulin for glucose sulin for glucose transport transport. the brain solely requires glucose for its energy needs because it is unable to syn- thesize glucose 7. What is glucagon antagonist to insulin 8. What is the role of glucagon 1. when glucose is low, glucagon secreted 2. maintain adequate blood glucose levels be- tween meals 1 / 13 Diabetes pharamcology Study online at https://quizlet.com/_g59skc 3. hyperglycemic effect 9.
