the pancreas does not produce insulin, this means that when blood glucose concentration rise, the body cannot bring them back down to the correct levels.
1 of 21
how do people control diabetes
exercise and diet and injecting insulin in the subcutaneous fat
2 of 21
what is type 2 diabetes
when the cells in a person´s body responds less well to insulin the cells start to become resistant to insulin, even though the hormone being produced
3 of 21
name the 3 neurones
sensory neurones, memory neurones and relay neurones
4 of 21
what is the myelin sheath
fatty covering around the axons of many neurones. it speeds up the transmission of impulses along their length and helps to insulate them from another
5 of 21
why is insulin injected in the subcutaneous fat
fat easily absorbs insulin. the insulin then spreads into blood vessels and is carried around the body in the blood
6 of 21
what happens to your body when blood sugar levels falls
your pancreas releases another hormone called glucogen. this is also carried in the blood and causes the cells in the liver to turn glycogen back into glucose, which is then released into the blood.
7 of 21
what is a target organ
an organ that responds to a certain hormone
8 of 21
where are hormones released
endocrine glands
9 of 21
what are the symptoms for sickle cell disease
fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations
10 of 21
symptoms of cystic fibrosis
lungs clogged with mucus, difficult of breathing, weight loss
11 of 21
what is homozygous
if both alleles for a characteristics are the same, the organism is homozygous for that characteristic
12 of 21
what is heterozygous
if both alleles for a characteristic are different, the organism is heterozygous for that characteristic
13 of 21
is cystic fibrosis a recessive disease?
yes
14 of 21
if it's a dominant disease can there be a carrier?
No. only recessive diseases can have carriers such as cystic fibrosis
15 of 21
what is a synapse?
a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.
16 of 21
what are the 5 kingdoms?
animalia, plantia, fungi, proctista, prokayote
17 of 21
what characteristic of plantia differ from animalia?
plantia- multicellular, have chlorophyll, have a cell wall, feed autrophically
18 of 21
what is the word where a animal changes due to survival?
adaptation
19 of 21
what are the 2 factors of variation?
environmental and genetics
