What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to resond to insulin?
Insulin resistance.
Why is insulin so important to the body?
Insulin is important for the body because it helps glucose enter the body's cells. The glucose is then used for energy.
Why is insulin not made in any other body cells?
Insulin is primarily produced in the pancreas by specialized cells called beta cells. These cells are uniquely equipped to synthesize and secrete insulin in response to changes in blood glucose levels. Other body cells do not have the necessary enzymes and machinery to produce insulin.
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to respond to secretion of insulin?
insulin resistance
What does insulin allow most of the cells of the body to do?
Function properly. Insulin helps control the level of glucose - the cells' fuel - circulating in the blood.
Necessary if glucose is to be taken up by body cells?
insulin
The role of insulin in the human body is to?
Trigger body cells to take up glucose.
What is insuline resistance?
insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas/beta cells when you eat glucose(sugar) is in the blood stream in order for your cells to use the glucose for energy or store it insulin has to "unlock the gate" to let glucose into the cell in insulin resistance your body cells don't let the insulin "unlock the gate" so the pancreas produces more insulin so you have a lot of insulin in your blood stream Type2 Diabetes - pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly utilize the insulin.
What term best describes a failure of the body cells to respond to secreation of insulin?
Type one diabetes
