Hormones and Homeostasis by SIDDHARTH PATIL https://padlet.com/siddharth_patil/h35ld1t3zn53 Diabetes type I & II en-us 2018-06-12 02:21:06 UTC 2025-05-04 18:05:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Hormones and Homeostatis https://padlet.com/siddharth_patil/h35ld1t3zn53/wish/266744947 2018-06-12 05:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/siddharth_patil/h35ld1t3zn53/wish/266744947 Reflection https://padlet.com/siddharth_patil/h35ld1t3zn53/wish/266745530 Homeostasis:
 Homeostasis, any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if unsuccessful, disaster or death ensues 

Importance of blood regulation:
Too low/too high levels of glucose= diabetes= bad syndromes

Role of alpha-beta: Beta cells in the pancreas secrete insulin (storage of glucose)
Alpha cells secrete glucagen (release of glucose)


Comparing type 1 and type 2 diabetes:
Type1: (HYPOGLYCEMIA)
-Body produces insuffiecient insulin
-Excessive carbs are broken down to glucose
-Absorbed by villi>blood stream> pancreas> beta cells detect
-Insulin is key in cll, locks extra cglu
- Autoimmune response by WBCs that kill beta cells 
- Glucose level builds up hyperglycemia- hunger, thirst, weight loss, blurry vision
- Cells cant use glucose for energy as there is less insulin and too much unregulated glucose
-Ketones build up
- phosphorosis, vegetable
-insulin therapy, good food excercise monitoring

Type 2: (HYPERGLYCEMIA)
-insulin and glucose reach body cells that have receptors
- not enough insulin/& cells rejets isulin (locks) are abnormal, les glucose
HNS- insulin deficiency

Importance of Glucose regulation:
If not monitored it leads to the following symptoms:
myocardial infarction
kidney problems which may require dialysis
eye problems leading to blindness
 

Role of alpha and beta cells:
Beta cells detect the rising glucose levels and then reduce glucose levels by releasing insulin.

Treatment of type 2 diabetes includes:
blood glucose monitoring
healthy diet
regular exercising 
medications

Cause of type 2 diabetes:
The pancreas do not produce enough insulin. thus, the cells resist the effect of insulin.

Treatment of type 1 diabetes:
insulin therapy
blood glucose monitoring 
healthy diet
regular exercise.

causes for type 1 diabetes
the body's own immune system mistakenly breaks down the insulin producing cells in the pancreas which is the major cause of type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes: 
 Type 1- Is when pancreatic beta cells lose their ability to produce insulin, a hormone that is required to maintain proper blood sugar levels. This results in high blood glucose levels and other complications. It can be cured by insulin therapy, blood glucose monitoring, healthy diet and regular exercise. 
 
Type 2- Is when the pancreas do not produce enough insulin or the body resists its effects. It can be treated by blood glucose monitoring, healthy eating, regular exercise and medications. 

Homeostasis: A property of cells, tissues, and organisms that allows the maintenance and regulation of the stability and constancy needed to function properly. Homeostasis is a healthy state that is maintained by the constant adjustment of biochemical and physiological pathways. An example of homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant blood pressure in the human body through a series of fine adjustments in the normal range of function of the hormonal, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular systems. These adjustments allow the maintenance of blood pressure needed for body function despite environmental changes and changes in a person's activity level and position.
