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 1 Diabetes, the body is unable to maintain homeostasis of blood glucose because the pancreas does not make insulin. Draw a graph to predict how blood glucose levels (mg/dl) would change with time in the 2 hours after consuming sugar in a person with Type 1 Diabetes versus a healthy person.
A researcher is curious whether 30 minutes of daily exercise can decrease the blood glucose levels back to normal in patients with type 2 diabetes.
what would be the Control Group of this?
A diabetic's blood sugar cannot be controlled because their pancreas can not produce enough insulin. To treat the illness, a person must keep track of their blood sugar levels and, if they are too high, inject insulin. What treatment do you think they'd require for low blood sugar?

- A person with diabetes cannot regulate their blood sugar because their pancreas does not release enough insulin. To treat the disease, a person must monitor their blood sugar; if their blood sugar is high, they must take an injection of insulin. How do you think they would need to treat low blood sugar?arrow_forwardAn 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_forwardWhich of the following statements about glucose regulation is FALSE? *Glucagon is released by the alpha cells when blood glucose levels are low.Insulin is released by the beta cells when blood glucose levels are high.Glucagon stimulates the formation of glycogen in the liver.Individuals with Type II diabetes produce insulin, but the insulin receptors don’t work.Insulin makes body cells more permeable to glucose.arrow_forward

One day, after accidentally injecting herself with too much insulin, she starts to shake and feels confused. Following her doctor’s suggestion, she drinks a glass of orange juice—a ready source of glucose—and soon her symptoms subside. What caused her symptoms? How would a glucose-rich snack help?arrow_forwardhGH is an important part of fat metabolism, muscle development, and bone growth. Synthetic hGH can be used to treat children and adults suffering from hGH deficiency. More recently, competitive athletes have began taking hGH in an attempt to improve athletic performance. The use of hGH for athletics is banned by many major sporting organizations. A recent study of 44 athletes who took daily injections of hGH over 20 days showed that, on average, the athletes gained 4.2 lbs of muscle, but the gain in muscle did not translate to increased athletic performance.Evaluate each statement regarding the use of hGH by competitive athletes to determine whether the statement is an example of an ethical, economical, societal, or environmental issue. Athletes who play professional sports should be encouraged to take synthetic hormones to improve performance because their job is to win. Athletes who took hGH did not improve their sport performance but did improve their appearance and marketability.…arrow_forward
