Question

PARTI Introduction The endocrine system consists of a group of glands located all around the body that produce and secrete chemical messengers. These messengers or hormones, travel through the blood stream causing effects in specific target tissues. The endocrine system serves as a fine tuner for maintaining the equilibrium in the body of many intermal parameters like body temperature, blood pH, blood glucose (this is the concept of homeostasis). This system, combined with the nervous system, serves to control all body reactions and behaviors. In this assignment, you will examine the body's response to the normal change in blood glucose during a typical day Instructions Question 1 (2 points) CLO2 Use the data presented in the table below to build a line graph representing the blood glucose concentration or level over the typical day of a student. Indicate on the graph the 3 meals and the football training period. Breakfast: 6:30 AM, Lunch: 11:30AM, Diner: 6PM, Football training: 3:30PM to 6PM glucoseTimelevel (mg/dl) (mg/dl) 6:30AM 7AM SAM 9AM 10AM 1AM Noon 1PM 2PM 3PM 4PM PM 6PM 80 110 8PM 95 7PM 10PM 11PM Midnight IAM 2AM 3AM AM SAM 6AM 93 90 91 90 85 85 94 115 110 94 83 83

Answer 1

2.

The blood glucose level may not increase as soon as the person takes the food, it will be reflected in the next hours glucose level only, because whatever the diet the person has to get digested first and then it has to absorbed to blood this is a time consuming process.

3.

The football training was happening between 3.30 pm to 6pm , the glucose value at this point of time were 80, 77, 77 respectively, it was decreasing because the person were in a energy yielding process and so the muscles will take more glucose then it will come to the low level of the day

4

change insulin and glucagone between 7 am and 11 am

the person takes break fast at 6 30 am so the blood glucose is peak at 7 am, so the insulin will be more secreted and try to reduce the glucose and make to a steady level. Glucagon will be needed when there is a need of glucose and that depends on his work at this point of time, and it may be produced more if he is hard working towards the end of 10am or 11am

while in 3 pm to 5pm he was starting foot ball training so the glucagon will act more and release more glucose to the blood.
