Summary Introduction
Introduction:
BMR or basal metabolic rate is defined as the rate of expanded energy per unit time by an endothermic animal at the state of rest. It shows the energy amount per unit time, which is used by a person for the proper functioning of the body at rest. Factors affecting BMR include body size, weight, muscle mass, body temperature, and gender. Thyroid hormone is responsible for regulation and maintenance of BMR.

- Which of the following statements about insulin is true? Question 19 options: Insulin stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen into glucose. Insulin facilitates the movement of intracellular glucose transporters to the cell membrane. Insulin acts as a transport protein, carrying glucose across the cell membrane. Insulin stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb glucose into the bloodstream.arrow_forwardYou find an eldery diabetic patient unconscious and perform a quick blood analysis to find her blood glucose is very low.

- Your immune system has detected an invading bacterial infection. Cytokines are released. What do you predict will happen in terms of your thermoregulatory set point? Choix de groupe de réponses Your thyroid gland will release endorphins to decrease your metabolic rate, cooling you down Your thyroid gland will release melatonin to increase your metabolic rate, cooling you down Your hypothalamus will decrease the set point, making you feel warm relative to your previously normal body temperature Your hypothalamus will increase the set point making you feel chilled at your previously normal body temperaturearrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE regarding liver metabolism? Select three of the following: The liver (hepatocytes) has hundreds of functions, such as producing glucose, ketones, fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins, and bile for the rest of the body. Hepatocytes have the GLUT2 antiporter, which allows for secondary active transport of glucose into the cells. Hepatocytes have glucokinase that continually makes glucose 6-phosphate, and it has a lower Km than other hexokinases so it continuously metabolizes glucose when concentrations are low. Glucose 6-phosphate is the "transfer station" in the liver since it can be made my multiple pathways and have multiple fates. The liver converts amino acids to citric acid cycle intermediates or pyruvate for gluconeogenesis. The liver oxidizes fatty acids into glucose, which can be sent to other cells and used for energy or converted into phospholipids and triacylglycerol.arrow_forwardIncreasing the amount of meals you eat per day (e.g., from 3 to 6 meals), results in increases in metabolic rate and weight loss. true of falsearrow_forward
- Restriction of food intake leads to which of the following? An increase in whole body energy expenditure Reductions in resting energy expenditure due in part to reduction in body mass An increase in the thermic effect of food due to lower energy intake Reductions in activity energy expenditure due to increased activity costs associated with a smaller body sizearrow_forwardA number of hormones in the body are responsible for controlling blood glucose levels. Some examples include insulin, glucagon, adrenaline, and cortisol.Select the FOUR numbers below that correctly show the pathway for insulin. Insulin is secreted when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin is secreted when blood sugar levels are low. Insulin is released from the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin is released from the alpha cells of the pancreas. Insulin makes cells more permeable to glucose. Insulin makes cells less permeable to glucose. Glycogen is taken up and converted to glucose. Glucose is taken up and converted to glycogen.arrow_forwardWhich two statements below accurately describe the roles of insulin and glucagon in maintaining metabolic homeostasis?

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.arrow_forwardWeight loss increases the plasma concentration of organochlorides in the blood.
