Document Summary

Enzymes secrete into stomach to break down food. Glucose (sugar/carbs), amino acids (protein), fatty acids (fat) Insulin is released when blood sugar is high. Stores sugar in liver and muscle as glycogen. In sympathetic, alpha cells in pancreas secrete glucagon (hormone) When you don"t eat glucose and fat stores burn off. High levels of glucose and insulin after eating. Stress causes insulin to go down and glucagon goes up. Type 1 diabetes is destruction of beta cells. Autoimmune disease, attacks beta cells of pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is failure of cells to respond to insulin. Eating and digesting takes tons of mechanical and chemical work. Enzymes and digestive acids are no longer secreted, your small intestines stop peristalsis, nothing is absorbed. Blood stops flowing to digestive tract so oxygen and glucose can be delivered elsewhere. Organic gi disorders is when something is physically wrong. Functional gi disorders aren"t as physical, and stress based.
