Ketone production - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

What is the pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes? autoimmune destruction of the beta cells within the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas What is the result of the beta cell destruction in type 1 diabetes? -pancreas not able to make insulin -decreased insulin production, increased glucose production (no insulin can't take glucose out of blood and into cells to use for energy) Where is glucose stored in someone with type 1 diabetes? glucose can't be stored in the liver so it remains in the blo...

Advanced Patho NURS 5315 exam 1 action potential The process by which excitable cells transmit information from one to another. How is the action potential altered by a potassium imbalance? (Hyperkalemia) The ECF has more K+ ions. The membrane potential becomes more positive (hypopolarized). Cells become MORE excitable. T waves peak. QRS complexes widen. Causes dysrhythmias, weakness, paresthesia. {If membrane potential becomes equal to threshold potential cardiac standstill occurs}...

Ketone production is the result of: - ANSWER-fat metabolization when glucose is unavailable Classic signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia include: - ANSWER-cool, clammy skin; weakness; tachycardia; and rapid respirations In contrast to type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes: - ANSWER-is caused by resistance to insulin at the cellular leve To which of the following diabetic patients should you administer oral glucose? - ANSWER-A confused 55-year-old male with tachycardia and pallor Insulin fun...

Mycorrhizae : Symbiotic organisms (aka symbionts) with plants that live on their roots, helping the plant gain nutrients Nerve net : A nervous system that moves neural signals in all directions from the stimuli, found in invertebrates like hydra Malpighian tubules : Tubes in an insect that help with osmoregulation and excretion; they move waste into the main gut for removal. "Kidneys" of arthropods, they absorb ammonium and convert it into uric acid, then into the main gut for rem...

WEEK 16 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY ACTUAL 2024 SPRING QTR FINAL EXAM (PROCTORED). COMPLETE EXAM 50 out of 50 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS. GENUINE A+ GRADE. A patient with type 1 diabetes asks the nurse what causes polyuria. What is the nurse’s best response? The symptom of polyuria in diabetes mellitus (DM) is caused by: a reduced ADH response caused by insulin deficiency. the loss of protein across the glomerular membrane. the production of ketones. increased glucose in the ur...

SCI 225 Week 16 Pathophysiology Final Exam (Proctored) 2021 A patient with type 1 diabetes asks the nurse what causes polyuria. What is the nurse’s best response? The symptom of polyuria in diabetes mellitus (DM) is caused by: a reduced ADH response caused by insulin deficiency. the loss of protein across the glomerular membrane. the production of ketones. increased glucose in the urine. The presence of glucose in the urine filtrate draws water into the tubules, causing ...

If consuming a no carbohydrate diet, what would the brain use as its primary energy source? Where would these come from? Why does it use these and not fatty acids? - The brain would have to use ketone bodies as its primary energy source since it is unable to use carbohydrates and also unable to go through beta oxidation and utilize fatty acids. The ketone bodies would come from the liver. Your friend rarely drinks alcohol, but at a social event is drinking heavily. How would he/she be metab...

training effect - Correct Answer-An increase in functional capacity of muscles and other bodily tissues as a result of increased stress (overload) placed upon them. Homeostasis - Correct Answer-The automatic tendency to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. Metabolism - Correct Answer-The total of all the chemical and physical processes by which the body builds and maintains itself (anabolism) and by which it breaks down its substances for the production of energy (catabolis...
