Front Back
Cell Respiration

Glucose -->--> Citric Acid Cycle-->-->Electron Transport Chain (A.T.P, CO2, H2O)
Glucose Metabolism
Excess glucose is converted to glycogen
Nutrient Building Blocks
Lipids (Glycerol + Fatty Acids)
Carbohydrates
Protein (Amino acids)
Pancreas
Alpha Cells: produce glucagonBeta Cells: produce insulinDelta Cells: produce somatostatin
Role of Glucagon
High blood sugar level Stimulates glycogen breaking down. Fat conversion --> Glucose
Role of Insulin
Low blood sugar level Stimulates glycogen production Stimulate storage of fat, protein synthesis goes up
Type I Diabetes
Child onsetInsulin-dependent diabetesDon't produce insulin (high blood sugar levels)
Type II Diabetes
Adult onset >40 yrsProduce insulin, but receptors don't work Insulin resistant
Integumentary System
Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands
Protect tissues, reg. body temp., support sensory receptors
Skeletal System
Bones, ligaments, cartilages
Provide framework, protect soft tissues, provide attachments for muscles, produce blood cells, store inorganic salts
Muscular System
Muscles
Cause movements, maintain posture, produce body heat
Nervous System
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs
Detect changes, receive & interpret sensory info, stimulate muscles & glands
Endocrine System
Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, testes
Control metabolic actions of body structures
Cardiovascular
Heart, arteries, capillaries, veins
Move blood thruout blood vessels & transport substances thruout body
Lymphatic
Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen
