Physiology Exam Questions and

Answers Already Graded A+


What is the name of the glucose transporters found on skeletal muscle and

fat cells? - ✔✔GLUT4

What is the name of the polymer which is the stored form of glucose? -

✔✔Glycogen

The endocrine portion of the pancreas is made up of alpha cells and beta

cells. What hormone is produced and released by the beta cells of the

pancreas? - ✔✔Insulin

What is the name of the peptide that is released from the pancreatic beta

cells when insulin is released? - ✔✔C-peptide

The endocrine portion of the pancreas is made up of alpha cells and beta

cells. What hormone is produced and released by the alpha cells of the

pancreas? - ✔✔Glucagon

Which organ does not utilize fatty acids? - ✔✔Brain

What is the pathological problem at the cellular level for Diabetes mellitus

type 1? - ✔✔Loss of pancreatic beta cells resulting in inability to make

and secrete insulin

What is the pathological problem at the cellular level for Diabetes mellitus

type 2? - ✔✔Target cells have less sensitive or resistant insulin

receptors

List the steps involved in blood glucose regulation in order starting with

ingesting a sugar containing meal. - ✔✔Step 1: Glucose is absorbed

from the intestine to the blood

Step 2: Blood glucose levels increase

Step 3: Pancreatic alpha and beta cells sense increased blood glucose

Step 4: Insulin and c-peptide are released from pancreatic beta cells and

into the blood

Step 5: Insulin binds to insulin receptors on target cells (liver, muscle, and

fat cells)

Step 6: Glucose transporters allow glucose to move into muscle cells

Step 7: blood glucose levels return back to normal

List the steps involved in blood glucose regulation starting at least 6 hours

after a meal. - ✔✔Step 1: Blood glucose levels decrease

Step 2: Pancreatic alpha and beta cells sense decreased blood glucose

Step 3: Pancreatic alpha cells release glucagon to the blood

Step 4: Glucagon signals liver and skeletal muscle to breakdown glycogen

Step 5: Liver cells release glucose to the blood

Step 6: Blood glucose levels return to normal

Select all the correct statements regarding glucose regulation:

- Uptake of glucose into resting skeletal muscles is dependent on insulin

- pancreatic alpha and beta cells sense blood glucose levels

- skeletal muscle senses blood glucose levels

- liver cells sense blood glucose levels

- breakdown of liver glycogen is dependent on glucagon - ✔✔- uptake of

glucose into resting skeletal muscles is dependent on insulin

- pancreatic alpha and beta cells sense blood glucose levels

- breakdown of liver glycogen is dependent on glucagon

Select the correct statement regarding diabetes mellitus type 1:

- The beta cells have been destroyed so insulin is not released in response

to increased blood glucose levels

-the insulin receptors on skeletal muscle cells are not as responsive to

insulin

- the alpha cells have been destroyed so insulin is not released in response

to increased blood glucose levels

- the alpha cells will secrete more glucagon - ✔✔The beta cells have

been destroyed so insulin is not released in response to increased blood

glucose levels

GLUT4 transports glucose from the blood into the liver cells. T/F -

✔✔False: GLUT4 transports glucose from the blood to skeletal muscle

and fat cells

Glucagon is secreted by pancreatic _________________ cells when blood

glucose levels __________________. - ✔✔Alpha, decrease

During a glucose challenge, would a patient with type I diabetes secrete

more or less insulin compared to normal? - ✔✔Less

If a type 1 diabetic gave them self an insulin injection just after a meal, what

will their blood levels of C-peptide be ? - ✔✔Low

The drug SU causes pancreatic beta cells to secrete more insulin into the

blood than normal as a way to combat insulin receptor insensitivity in type 2

diabetics. True or false: you would expect a patient's blood c-peptide levels

to be higher than normal if they are taking SU? - ✔✔True
