Diabetes mellitus‚ or simply diabetes‚ is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar‚ either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin‚ or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.[2] This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination)‚ polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger). There are three main types of diabetes mellitus (DM). Type 1 DM results from the body’s failure to produce

Campbell’s Biology‚ 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules In Chapter 5‚ the principles of chemistry covered in earlier chapters are applied to the understanding of biological polymers and lipid membranes. The emphasis is on properly linking monomers and their polymers‚ and on the structural and functional diversity of the different polymer types. Particular attention is given to protein structure‚ because this is central to understanding subsequent

adrenaline has no psychoactive effects‚ while noradrenaline does‚ affecting the person’s mental processes. The effects of adrenaline released with into the bloodstream include the stimulation of involuntary muscles‚ rising blood pressure‚ conversion of glycogen‚ a form of stored body fuel‚ inside the liver into glucose‚ heart rate increase‚ the dilation of the bronchioles‚ the fine‚ thin-walled‚ tubular extensions of the bronchus‚ in the lungs‚ increased breathing rate‚ increased metabolic rate‚ and decreased

produce 34 ATPs‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide through aerobic respiration. The ATP is then distributed to our cells that are in need of energy to utilize it for things such as active transport. Our body stores small amount of carbohydrate in the form of glycogen which is located in the liver‚ muscles and brain‚ however any excess carbohydrate is stored as fat in our body. So‚ eating food that contains too much carbohydrate ends up as fat in out body. The issue with storing fat in your body is that you would

Aerobic Exercise: Aerobic means with air or oxygen. You should be able to carry on a short conversation while doing aerobic exercise. If you are gasping for air while talking‚ you are probably working anaerobically. Aerobic exercise improves long-term endurance while anaerobic exercise improves short-term endurance. Dance tends to use mostly anaerobic activity during technique classes and exercise. Performing repetitive movements will improve muscular endurance. In some circumstances‚ choreographers

10 Ways my Body Maintained Homeostasis By Travis Bushong 1. I was sweating after jogging a mile because my body’s internal temperature had gotten too high and I needed to cool down so my body used the extra internal heat to release sweat and at the same time keep homeostasis. The systems involved were my nervous system and my integumentary system. 2. When I was shivering after getting out of the hot tub it was my muscles moving quickly. Muscles need a combination of fats and sugars burned with

Muscle fatigue is weakness or weariness resulting from exertion or prolonged stress and the failure to maintain an expected power output. (Amussen) The process by which your body produces energy is called glycolysis. During glycolysis‚ glycogen is broken to produce creatine phosphate‚ which releases energy. The energy released catalyzes a reaction to produce ATP. The ending product of glycolysis is lactic acid‚ which is created by breaking pyruvate acid down. Then lactic acid is broken down to produce
