Document Summary
The most important disorder associated with pancreas is. What causes diabetes: genetic factors, environmental factors. Both of which impair the cellular use of glucose. Exocrine: secretion of several enzymes in the duodenum, assisting in chemical digestion of nutrients. High insulin levels and falling blood glucose levels provide negative feedback to the pancreas to stop secreting insulin. It causes glucose to enter cells and be used as energy. This causes the serum and blood glucose levels to fall. It does not require insulin for glucose transport. Alcohol, lithium, ace inhibitors and beta adrenergic blockers. Carbohydrate, it is important to understand way it obtains, metabolizes, and stores glucose. 1. promotes entry glucose into cells: provides storage of glucose as glycogen, inhibits breakdown of fat and glycogen, increases protein synthesis and inhibits gluconeogenesis. It is a metabolic disease in which insulin sensitivity is decreased or decreased insulin secretion which ultimately causes hyperglycemia. Type2: lack of sensitivty for insulin on cell receptors.
