Answer: True

Explanation:

The corticospinal tract can be defined as the white matter motor pathway that starts with the cerebral cortex and terminates at the lower motor neuron of the spinal cord. This controls the movement of the trunk and limbs.

If the corticospinal tract is affected at any level above the medulla the voluntary control over the movements will be affected on the contra-lateral side of the body.

High blood and urine glucose (sugar) is characteristic of a disorder called ____________.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Is characteristic of Diabetes.

Explanation:

Diabetes is a disorder in which blood sugar increases due to the fact that there is mechanism by which sugar enters the cell is somehow affected.

There are different types of this disorder, the most common ones are the following,

1. Diabetes type 1, is an autoimmune disorder in which the cells that are in charge of producing insulin are destroyed, as a consequence there is not enough insulin (responsible for allowing the glucose channels to open and transport glucose into the cell). Therefore, sugar remains in blood circulation. When glucose levels are too high, it starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.

2. Diabetes type 2, is triggered by different factors, there are genetic and environmental factors that trigger this disease. In this case, cells are 'resistant' to the insulin effect, so the body reacts by secreting more insulin. As a consequence, cells in charge of secreting insulin are overworked and at the same time, the body cells keep on increasing the resistance to insulin. There is a point in which this compensation fails to work, and blood sugar rises. When the levels become high, glucose starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.

There are more types of diabetes, such as gestational diabetes or LADA. In this cases the cause of the disease varies, but the outcome is the same, increased blood glucose levels and presence of glucose in the urine.
