Pancreas and Liver Review

Pancreas Review

Multiple Choice

What are the functions of Pancreas?

• Helps in digestion and regulating blood pressure

• Helps in digestion and regulating blood sugar

• Helps in blood sugar regulation and produces insulin

• Helps in blood sugar regulation and produces glucagon

Endocrine (blood vessels) and Exocrine (duct)

• Exocrine - pancreatic juices break down biomolecules

• Endocrine- insulin production

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between exocrine and endocrine functions?

• Exocrine cells secrete fluids to the outside of the body; endocrine cells secrete fluids into the inside of the body

• They are synonymous

• Exocrine cells secrete fluids into ducts; endocrine cells secrete fluids into the blood stream

• Exocrine cells secrete clear fluids; endocrine cells secrete opaque fluids

Exocrine Acinar cells

produce enzymes that break down carb, proteins, and lipids that is delivered to the duodenum

Endocrine Beta cells

sensory "taste bud" cells that regulate insulin production

Multiple Choice

Glucose sensory cells

• beta

• lobule

• acinar

• parietal

Multiple Choice

Cells of the pancreas that produce enzymes for digestion of proteins, carbs, and lipids

• beta

• lobule

• acinar

• parietal

Diabetes type 1 (mellitus)

autoimmune dysfunction

immune cells kill beta cells

insulin dependant

diabetes type 2 mellitus

• homeostatic dysfunction

Multiple Choice

True or False: In Type II diabetes the body does not produce insulin

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

In which of the following types of diabetes does the pancreas not produce enough insulin due to immune response attacking the beta cells?

• Type I

• proteins

• fats

• fibers

Multiple Choice

diabetes can be managed by

Multiple Choice

Which of the following describes BEST Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?

• Insulin is always necessary when you have Type 2 diabetes.

• Type 2 diabetes was also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

• It could be the result of faulty beta cells in the pancreas that normally produce insulin.

• Type 2 diabetes is an autoimmune condition.

Multiple Choice

The most common form of diabetes. It is a progressive condition in which the cells becomes resistant to normal function of insulin. Pancreas gradually loses the capacity to produce enough insulin.
