Glucose regulation and diabetes

What organ of the body monitors the glucose concentration?

• Kidney

• Pancreas

• Liver

• Hypothalamus

The normal concentration of glucose in the blood is

• 120 g per 100cm3

• 120 mg per 100cm3

• 80 mg per 100cm3

• 80 mg per 100cm3

All of the following are Functions of Insulin EXCEPT

• Stimulates the body cells to absorb glucose

• convert excess glucose to glycogen

• converts some sugar to fat

• convert glycogen to glucose

The following is the functions of Glucagon

• Stimulates the body cells to absorb glucose

• convert excess glucose to glycogen

• converts some sugar to fat

• convert glycogen to glucose

What is the name of the cells in the pancreas that secretes Insulin?

• Beta cells

• Alpha cells

• adrenal glands

• Liver cells

What is the name of the cells in the pancreas that secretes glucagon?

• Beta cells

• Alpha cells

• adrenal glands

• Liver cells

These actions will help to reduce a high glucose concentration in the blood:

• Body cells absorbs glucose for respiration and liver cells convert glucose to glycogen and stores it.

• liver cells break down glycogen into glucose and release it into the blood

• fat is broken down to release glucose

All of the following will result in a dilute urine concentration EXCEPT

• Excess water intake

• Some drugs, such as alcohol and caffeine in tea, coffee and cola

• In Cold weather

• after exercise

This disease causes people to excrete a lot of dilute urine

• Type I (insulin-dependent diabetes)

• Type II (non-insulin-dependent diabetes)

• Diabetes Insipidus

• Diabetes mellitus

Hyperglycemia occurs

• when the amino acids concentration is high

• when the glucose level is normal

• when the glucose concentration is below normal

• when the glucose concentration of the blood is above normal
