Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 3CQ
Core Concept: Systems Organ systems often exert dual control over variables such as blood pressure, respiration, and growth. How do the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon maintain glucose homeostasis? When are these hormones released into the blood? What might happen to a nonfasting mammal that was injected with a high dose of glucagon?

Exercise
Exercise places demands on the body. Cells require extra energy and water is lost through sweating. The breathing rate and heart rate increases during exercise to deliver more glucose and oxygen to cells which are converted to ATP through cellular respiration. Identify three hormones that are involved in re-establishing homeostasis after an intense workout and explain why they are involved.
Chronic stress or GC exposure can cause insulin resistance. The influence of GC on insulin is complex, but leads to hyperinsulinemia (high circulating insulin levels) and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is typically caused by a decreased number of insulin receptors on the cell surface. Speculate on a mechanism resulting in a decreased number of insulin receptors.

- Identify the major components of a negative feedback loop and explain what would happen if secretion of insulin controlled by a negative feedback system became too great.arrow_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 of the choices listed below is the correct order of events for the action of lipid-soluble hormones?
