#1
Front (Question)

is both an endocrine and exocrine organ in the control of carbohydrate metabolism a. pancreas b. insulin c. glucagon

Back (Answer)

pancrease - both endocrine and exocrine

#2
Front (Question)

produces and secretes an amylase responsible for the breakdown of ingested complex carbohydrates a. endocrine gland b. exocrine glan

Back (Answer)

pancreas - both an endo and exocrine organ endocrine gland - secretes the HORMONES, INSULIN , AND SOMATOSTATIN from different cells residing in the islet of Langerhans in the pancreas exocrine gland - produce and secrete an amylase responsible for the breakdown of ingested complex carbohydrates

#3
Front (Question)

insulin are released when glucose are ___ a. high b. low

Back (Answer)

insulin is normally released when glucose are HIGH glucagon is released during STRESS AND FASTING STATES

#4
Front (Question)

hypoglycemic agent - only hormone that decreases glucose levels a. insulin b. glucagon

Back (Answer)

insulin • normally released when glucose are high • only hormone that DECREASES GLUCOSE LEVELS - hypoglycemic agent

#5
Front (Question)

serum insulin measurements may be ___________ in the presence of hemolysis a. falsely high b. falsely low

Back (Answer)

serum insulin measurements may be FALSELY LOW in the presence of hemolysis

#6
Front (Question)

hyperglycemic agent a. pancreas b. insulin c. glucagon

Back (Answer)

glucagon • primary hormone responsible for INCREASING GLUCOSE - hyperglycemic agent • alpha cells of the islet of langerhans • released during stess and fasting states • fasting plasma glucagon conc are normally 25-50pg/mL

#7
Front (Question)

hormones that secreted by the anterior pituitary gland a. cortisol and corticosteroid’ b. cathecolamines c. growth hormone d. somatostatin

Back (Answer)

growth hormone - secreted by the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND

#8
Front (Question)

stimulates the release of cortisol from adrenal cortex a. cortisol and corticosteroid’ b. cathecolamines c. growth hormone d. somatostatin

Back (Answer)

adrenocorticotropic hormone release of cortisol fr0m adrenal cortex

#9
Front (Question)

promotes glycogenolysis, glycolysis a. cathecolamines b. growth hormone c. ACTH d. thyroid hormones

Back (Answer)

Catecholamines - promotes glycogenolysis, and lipolysis growth hormone - glycogenolysos, glycolysis (GGG) ACTH - promotes gylcogenolysis and gluconeogenis th - promotes glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and intestinal absorption og glucose

#10
Front (Question)

in iron deficiency anemia what is the result of hba1c a. low b. high

Back (Answer)

older rbc and IDA may have HIGH HBA1C LEVELS

#11
Front (Question)

what test is useful in patient monitoring diabetic individuals with chronic hemolytic anemia and HbS / Hbn a. Hba1c b. fructosamine c, ogtt

Back (Answer)

fructosamine/ glycosylated or glycated albumin • it is reflection of short term glucose control (2-3 weeks) • useful in patient monitoring diabetic individuals with chronic hemolytic anemia and HbS / Hbn - decrease lifespan
