In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via cAMP. Although you might expect glucagon to stimulate catabolism of the glu

cose formed as well, glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulates gluconeogenesis in liver. Which of the following is/are true? a. The function of glucagon is to decrease blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function. b. The function of glucagon is to decrease blood glucose pressure. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function. c. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function. d. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose pressure. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function.

Answer:

c. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function.

Explanation:

Glucagon is the enzymes synthesized and released by alpha cells of endocrine pancreas in association with food. Glucagon causes an increase in blood glucose levels and it does so by :

1) Inhibiting the process of glycolysis so that the glucose is used less.

2) Stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to increase the glucose concentration in the blood.

3) Stimulating gluconeogenesis in the liver thus increasing the synthesis of glucose in liver.

All these processes directly increase the level (concentration) of glucose in blood.

Hence option  C) The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function is true

Answer:

The correct answer is - Type 2 diabetes mellitus has major components: insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion.

Explanation:

In type 2 diabetes there are two major components that play an important role to cause this that are Insulin resistance in which insulin could not bind with the specific receptors that result in less effective at stimulating glucose uptake.

The other major component is impaired insulin secretion in which an increased amount of insulin is required that there is not enough insulin to prevent the breakdown of fats and production of ketones.

A patient has a total occlusion of the left femoral artery. With this condition, which assessment finding would the EMT expect
kotykmax [81]

A patient having total occlusion of the left femoral artery also have Pale skin to the left foot.

What is Occlusive Peripheral Arterial Disease?

  • Blockage or narrowing of a leg (or, less frequently, arm) artery, typically brought on by atherosclerosis and resulting in reduced blood flow, is known as occlusive peripheral arterial disease.
  • The symptoms depend on the size of the blockage and which artery it is in.
  • The two iliac arteries, the femoral arteries, the popliteal arteries, and the calves' main arteries are among the arteries in the legs where occlusive peripheral arterial disease most frequently manifests (tibial and peroneal arteries).

Create an acronym/mnemonic device (memory aids) that would help you remember the order in which sound
Andrew [12]

A typical memory aid that helps in remembering the order in which sound travels from the peripheral to the central components of the auditory pathway would be E.C.O.L.I.M.A.

Sound (high or low-frequency sounds) at first gets to the hair cells of the Ear receptors (E) in Cochlea and cranial nerve number 8 (CN VII), then it gets to the Cochlear nuclei (C) which are cells dedicated to these high or low-frequency sounds.

At the Superior Olivary nucleus (O) sound is localized before it gets to the midbrain - Lateral lemniscus (L) and Inferior colliculus (I). The inferior colliculus receives auditory nerve fibers from ipsilateral superior olivary nuclei through the lateral lemniscus.

Sounds then get to the thalamus at the Medial geniculate body (M) which receives nerve fibers from the inferior colliculus; eventually sounds then get to the auditory cortex.

In summary, ECOLIMA is an easily understandable mnemonic device to help remember how sound waves move from the external ears to the auditory nerves and cortex.

An element has a mass of 207 and 125 neutrons in its nucleus. How many protons & electrons does it have & where are they
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The number of protons can be calculated by subtracting 207 with 125

Therefore, proton no. : 207 - 125 = 32

Proton number and electron number is always equivalent, so there are 32 electrons in the electron shells

Protons and neutrons are always located in the nucleus of an atom, and electrons are located in the electron shells which always move rapidly around the atom

The element which is referred to is Lead(Pb)

Taya2010 [7]

Pericarditis should expect to administer ibuprofen (motrin) to a patient with which disorder

Ibuprofen is a drug used to manage and treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid illnesses, fever, mild to moderate pain, and inflammatory diseases.

Ibuprofen is a pain reliever that can be purchased without a prescription over-the-counter. It belongs to the class of medications known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) and is used to treat mild to severe pain, including toothache, migraine, and period pain.

Ibuprofen's most frequent adverse effects include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, exhaustion, and restless sleep. Ibuprofen is quickly broken down and excreted in the urine. Ibuprofen is almost completely excreted 24 hours after the previous dose. The half-life of serum is 1.8 to 2.0 hours.
