Endocrine

17.Exocrine is r/t. The pancreas secretes enzymes to digest food so

we can do what?: digestion

Absorb nutrient

18.What function of the pancreas is very important in maintaining normal blood

glucose levels?: Endocrine

19. What function of the pancreas is responsible for glucose homeostasis?: -

Endocrine

20.Hormones including and are secreted in the pancreas by

what?: Insulin

Glucagon

the islets of Langerhans

21.Insulin acts to decrease levels, whereas glucagon acts to in-

crease levels.: Glucose

Glucose

22. Insulin and

glucagon have significant impact on metabolism.: -

Glucose

23.What is the protein that is co-secreted with insulin by beta cells?: Amylin

24.What is insulin secreted by?: Beta cells

Catabolic

35.No insulin means what?: Glucose cannot be transported into the cells

36.If the glucose is not getting into the cels, the body must do what to get energy?:

Breakdown fat and skeletal muscle

37.Where is insulin secreted?: Beta cells in the pancreas

38.What allows glucose to enter the cell?: Insulin

39.What promotes storage of glucose as glycogen?: Insulin

40.What inhibits the breakdown of fat and glycogen?: Insulin

41.What is stored glucose called?: Glycogen

42.When we exercise what do we break down for energy?: Glycogen

43.Insulin increases synthesis and inhibits .:

Protein Gluconeogenesis

44. What is the production of new glucose from non-carbohydrate molecules?-

: Gluconeogenesis

45.What occurs when you are fasting to make glucose? What type of mole- cules

does it use to make glucose?: Gluconeogensis

Non-carbohydrate molecules

46.What is secreted by alpha cells in the pancreas in response to low blood

glucose?: Glucagon

47.Glucagon has what type of effect in the body?: Hyperglycemic

48.Glucagon is considered a counter hormone.: Regulatory

49.Glucagon has an opposite action of what?: Insulin

61.Does steroids have a hyper/hypoglycemic effect?: Hyperglycemic

62.Does diuretics have a hyper/hypoglycemic effect? Which diuretics?: Hy-

perglycemic

Thiazide and loop

63.Does alcohol have a hyper/hypoglycemic effect? What do we recommend the drink

limit for patients?: Hypoglycemic

Two maximum drinks with dinner

64.Does lithium have a hyper/hypoglycemic effect?: Hypo

65.Do ACE medications have a hyper/hypoglycemic effect? What medication in

particular?: Hypo

Lisinopril

66.Do BB have a hyper/hypoglycemic effect?: Hypo

67. Why should we always get an accurate medication list with DM patients?-

: Because some medications can cause hypo/hyperglycemia

68.Is type 1 diabetes more or less prevalent?: Less - about 10%

69. Type 1 diabetes is caused by a

lack of secretion. There is an

deficiency.: Absolute insulin

70.Type 1 DM results from a destruction of pancreatic

cells.: Autoimmune

Islet

insulin is not able to let the glucose in to the cell, no energy is making it in.

Thus, the body must break down fat for energy

83.Break down of fats for energy (ketolysis) can cause uria which can lead to and

this lowers the blood.: Ketonuria

Ketoacidosi

s pH

84.T or F: DKA can lead to death or coma.: Ture

85.What type of cardiovascular damage can occur from T1 DM?: MI Stroke

healing

92.Why is their a fruity breath with DKA?: From ketones w deep breathing

93.What types of GI issues would you see with DKA?: N/V, abdominal pain,

dehydration, electrolyte imbalance

94.What can DKA do to your mental status?: Cause altered LOC

95.What type of insulin is given during DKA and what route? What else to we treat

with?: Regular insulin - IV

Fluid and electrolyte

96.Why do we monitor the administration of IV regular insulin and fluid and

electrolyte replacement so closely with DKA?: So we don't put them in to
