Question
Chapter 38.3, Problem 1CSR
Summary Introduction
To investigate:
Some infectious disease and life style disorders that shows positive feedback.
Introduction:
In positive feedback mechanism, the result enhances the original stimuli. Eventually, the negative feedback has to intercept the positive feedback otherwise positive feedback can be life threatening.
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reasons for decline in health or death that occurs due to positive feedback.
Introduction:
Positive feedback does not reverse the ongoing condition, instead it enhances the condition and therefore if external mechanism does not interrupt, positive feedback can be very harmful or even threatening to life.

In type II diabetes, insulin is produced but is nonfunctional. These individuals are described as “starving in the sea of plenty” because their blood glucose levels are high, but none of the glucose is transported into the cells. Describe how this leads to malnutrition.
A patient with type I diabetes is found in a coma. Blood glucose, urine glucose,
blood ketones, and urine ketones are all elevated; serum HCO3- is < 12 mEq/L.
Respirations are quick and deep with acetone breath. Blood pressure is 95/61 mm
Hg, and the pulse is weak and rapid (119 beats/min).What factor in this patient's
condition is the major cause of their low serum HCO3-? *
O The patient has been excreting acidic urine.
O The patient has been hyperventilating.
O The patient has compensated for the low cO2.
O it has been depleted to buffer ketoacids.
O The patient tries to achieve a normal (HC03-1/Pco2 ratio.
Glycogen depletion resulting from intense, extensive exercise can lead to exhaustion and the inability to continue exercising. Some people also experience dizziness, an inability to concentrate, and a loss of muscle control. Account for these symptoms.

- Figure 37.11 Pancreatic tumors may cause excess secretion of glucagon. Type I diabetes results from the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Which of the following statement about these two conditions is true? A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will have the opposite effects on blood sugar levels. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hyperglycemia. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hypoglycemia. Both pancreatic tumors and type I diabetes result in the inability of cells to take up glucose.arrow_forwardAs a result of complete fasting for 3 days, a significant change in metabolism occurs.

Select the row that correctly identifies the treatment for each form of diabetes and explains why the treatment is effective. Select one: a. Type 1 Treatment Type 2 Treatment Reason Lifestyle change - eating better and increasing exercise Insulin monitoring and periodic insulin shot Type 1 can be controlled by managing lifestyle choices, whereas Type 2 is caused by decreased functioning of beta cells and therefore less insulin is produced. b.

- An increase in the amount of stored lipids leads to changes in the expression of many hormones. One such hormone is tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). A change in expression of this hormone can lead to a change in the free fatty acid level, which, in turn, decreases insulin sensitivity. Place the steps of this process in order.arrow_forwardHaving low blood sugar levels, or hypoglycemia, can be made even worse because Finding food when you’re a low energy state will be difficult Your brain will selfishly create more glucose transporters to hoard the remaining glucose in your brain Nausea as a result of hypoglycemia will make it difficult to eat A person with diabetes will overproduce insulin as a resultarrow_forwardA person is suspected with diabetes mellitus.
