Is there anything I haven’t covered that you would like to go over?????. Fate of Digestive End-Products. Fats and Glycogen are the MAIN STORES for extra energy in the body You must convert fats & glycogen to GLUCOSE for metabolism!!!!!. Converting stored Glycogen to Glucose & vice versa.

Fate of Digestive End-Products Fats and Glycogen are the MAIN STORES for extra energy in the body You must convert fats & glycogen to GLUCOSE for metabolism!!!!!
Converting stored Glycogen to Glucose & vice versa Hormones Insulin & Glucagon control the rate of conversion When blood glucose is high INSULIN dominates When blood glucose is low GLUCAGON dominates
Insulin & Glucagon are synthesized in pancreatic islet cells Pancreatic Duct Small Intestine Pancreas Alpha Cells: secrete GLUCAGON Islet Cells Acini Cells Beta Cells: secrete INSULIN
The Liver Storage: Liver is a major storage site of glucose
Diabetes: chronically high plasma glucose levels Insulin not secreted or not effective Excess glucose remains in blood Can only be eliminated via kidney (VERY SLOW) Insulin secreted; excess glucose stored in muscle or fat
Insulin Deficiency: Decreased Insulin Production Muscle Cells uptake glucose from blood Insulin Resistance: Decreased Uptake
Diabetes: Multisystem Pathophysiology 1) Excess glucose in renal filtrate (glucosuria) 2) Glucose in filtrate draws water away from renal ISF….huge increase in urine volume 3) Decreased blood volume & pressure 4) Circulatory system fails to compensate over time…anaerobic metabolism from dying tissues 5) Metabolic acidosis shuts down CNS 6) DEATH!
Amputation in DiabetesHypovolemia = Root Cause Low Flow, High Tissue Glucose/Low O2 Rapid, Aggressive Infection Reduced Blood Flow Impared Healing Amputation to contain infection

Reproductive Physiology • Menstrual Cycle • Pregnancy • Lactation
Menstrual Cycle: Generalizations and terms • Two main phase: follicular & luteal • Pituitary Gland secretes • Luteinizing Hormone (LH) • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) • Ovary produces follicle containing an egg • Follicle then Corpus Luteum secretes Estrogen, Progesterone, Inhibin • Uterus prepares for egg fertilization & growth • Spike in Progesterone leads to Body Temp spike
Menstrual Cycle: Step-by-step • FOLLICULAR PHASE • 1) Period: old uterine lining sloughed • FSH is high > a follicle matures • 2) Estrogen gradually increases inhibiting FSH • ***ensures only one follicle*** • LUTEAL PHASE • 3) Estrogen levels peak causing spike in FSH & LH • ***ovulation: egg leaves follicle*** • Uterine wall thickens • **Fertilization can now occur in a ~ 12 hour window** • 4) Follicle converted to Corpus Luteum • ** Secretes Progesterone & Inhibin • ** Prepares Uterus for implantation • ***If Fertilization DID NOT OCCUR within 12 hours • after 3) then….5 • 5) Corpus Luteum and Egg dies, Uterine Wall sloughed • Estrogen, Progesterone, Inhibin levels drop • > FSH increase..back to 1) 3 1 2 1 2 5 3 4 3 4 2 5 4 1 3
Pregnancy…..stopping the menstrual cycle! Estradiol ~ Estrogen Corpus Luteum and later Placenta secrete Estrogen & Progesterone This prevents the breakdown of the uterine wall….thus preventing menstruation Estrogen & Progesterone Levels stay elevated due to Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Pregnancy tests = hCG tests!
Parturition: Labor • Mechanism that initiates labor is not well understood: • Progestrone & Estrogen drop after labor begins • Oxytocin initiates Uterine contractions… • but inducing labor with artificial oxytocin doesn’t always work • Fetus may secrete a hormone…(CRH, corticotropin releasing hormone, • controls adrenal gland) Labor IS well understood: Once labor begins uterus undergoes powerful contractions + Tissue in birth canal softens due to the peptide, RELAXIN = Which eject the baby from uterus and cause delivery
