Short Answer Regulation of Blood Sugar

This week's submission will be different.  You will  not be submitting via Canvas, but rather bringing your work to class the following Wednesday and turning in a hard copy. 

Assignment

Create a drawing that shows

• the pathway of a molecule of sugar through your digestive system into your bloodstream (this should include all of the organs and what happens in them) (this is from last week's SA)
• how the pancreas regulates your blood glucose levels in conjunction with the cells of your body and the liver
• make sure to include how the pancreas delivers insulin to the blood stream( exocytosis- vesicles and cytoskeleton), the way glucose enters cells (phospholipid bilayer and  GLUT4) 
• what are the sugars used for in the liver vs. the cells of the body. 
• Make sure to explain about cell respiration and ATP (this from last week's SA) 

The drawing should also include what happens if you exercise and BG drops:

• show the role of the pancreas- glucagon is also a protein and you will  need the same info about exocytosis
• How does the liver respond? Include information about glycogen and glucose and how the glucose gets out of the liver cells.

Diabetes : 

• • •  On your drawing indicate  what the problem is for Type 1 diabetics ( use a different color ink)
    • On your drawing, indicate where the problem is for Type 2 Diabetes (use another color)
