What is Homeostasis?
The maintenance of a constant
internal environment,
despite external changes is called
Homeostasis
![Page 3: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is Homeostasis? Body cells work best if they have the
correct Temperature Water levelsGlucose concentration
Your body has mechanisms to keep the cells in a constant environment.

Where is the pancreas?
![Page 5: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pancreatic endocrine functions
cells: make insulin (stores glucose) = ¾ of the cells; secrete Insulin
cells: make glucagon to (mobilize glucose)
¼ of the cells; secrete Glucagon
The pancreas also secretes enzymes needed in digestion
![Page 6: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Insulin and the 3-”G’s” Insulin: (anabolic). Initiates buildup
of glucose to store as glycogen.
1. Glucagon: (catabolic). Breaks down stored glycogen into glucose.
2. Glycogen is stored form of glucose.
3. Glucose: usable form of sugar present in blood.
![Page 7: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Controlling Glucose levels
Your cells (muscles, brain, etc) need an exact level of glucose in the blood. (normal serum level 65 – 105 mg)
Excess glucose gets turned into glycogen in the liver and muscles
Blood glucose levels are regulated by 2 hormones (chemical messengers) from the pancreas called:
InsulinGlucagon
![Page 8: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Normal Maintenance of Blood Glucose Levels
Eat a meal: Pancreas detects increased glucose
levels in blood and secretes INSULIN This results in uptake of GLUCOSE by:
Cells that need it for energy (including brain)
Liver and muscle cells to be stored as glycogen
Pancreas stops release of Insulin Glucose levels return to normal (80-
120)
![Page 9: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Time
Glucose Concentration
Meal eaten
Insulin is produced and glucose levels fall to normal again.
Glucose levels rise after a meal.
Normal

Normal maintenance, cont.
Insulin secretion regulated by Negative Feedback of blood glucose levelsHigh blood glucose stimulates insulin secretion
Low blood glucose inhibits insulin secretion
![Page 11: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If there is too much glucose in the blood, Insulin tells the liver to convert some of it to glycogen
Glycogen
Insulin
Glucose in the blood
![Page 12: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Normal Maintenance of Blood Glucose Levels, cont.
Blood glucose drops due to NOT eating
Pancreas detects and releases glucagon stimulates the release of glycogen
(broken down to glucose) Glucose is released into the blood
and levels return to normal.
![Page 13: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If there is not enough glucose in the blood, Glucagon tells the liver to convert glycogen into glucose.
Glycogen
Glucagon
Glucose in the blood

Normal Maintenance, cont.
Release of Glucagon also regulated by Negative Feedback mechanism sensitive to glucose levels in blood.Low blood sugar stimulates glucagon secretion
High blood sugar inhibits glucagon secretion

Diabetes Some people do not produce enough
insulin. When they eat food, the glucose
levels in their blood cannot be reduced.
This condition is known as DIABETES.
Diabetics sometimes have to inject insulin into their blood. They have to be careful of their diet.
![Page 16: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Time
Glucose Concentration
Meal eaten
Insulin is not produced so glucose levels stay high
Glucose levels rise after a meal. Diabetic
![Page 17: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The glucose in the blood increases,
Glycogen
Insulin
Glucose in the blood
but there is no insulin to tell the liver to convert it into glycogen.Glucose concentration rises to dangerous levels.

What is going on?Absence (or ineffectiveness
of ) insulinCellular resistanceCells can’t use glucose for
energyStarvation mode
Compensatory breakdown of body fat/protein (ketone breath: smells like alcohol)
![Page 24: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Side Effects HYPERGLYCEMIA: fluid/electrolyte
imbalance. Sodium, chloride, potassium excreted
(frequent urination) Dehydration (thirsty all the time) cells are starving, so person feels
hungry despite eating huge amounts of food. Starvation state remains until insulin is available. (eats too much)
![Page 25: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Type I Diabetes MUST HAVE INSULIN WHICH IS
INJECTED!!! Can also have oral medications too to help.
Cause: autoimmune-happens at birth or by teen years. (AKA:juvenile diabetes) Beta cell destruction in genetically
susceptible person
Some viral infections: can destroy beta cells
![Page 26: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Type II Diabetes Can have insulin but usually given
oral meds. Cause/Who gets it- usually adult
onset but a problem on the rise in children Reduction in ability of most cells to
respond to insulin Poor control of liver glucose output Decreased beta-cell function (eventual
failure)
![Page 28: Homeostasis and Diabetes L3](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161ae550346895dd16de6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Risk Factors for Type II Major risk factors
Family history Obesity Origin (Afro-American, Hispanic, Native
American, Asian-American) Age (older than 45) History of gestational diabetes High cholesterol Hypertension
