What are the three processes in the breakdown of glucose? Draw the pathway for each. What are the inputs, outputs, and net gain of each step? Where does each process occur? How (what molecules) are the processes connected? How are amino acids broken down? How can energy be obtained from amino acids? How are lipids broken down? How can energy be obtained from amino acids? How are numbers 2-5 connected?; in other words, how can fragments of molecules be moved between the different catabolic and anabolic pathways? What is gluconeogenesis (forgot to say in class)? What are lipoproteins? What are the 5 types? How are they classified? How are lipids transported in the circulation? What are the 5 major groupings of tissue to consider when studying metabolism? How do they differ? Describe the events that occur during the absorptive phase? Which tissues use which nutrients and how? How is the absorptive phase regulated? Describe the events that occur during the postabsorptive phase? Which tissues use which nutrients and how? How is the postabsorptive phase regulated? Define thermoregulation. What four factors are involved in heat exchange with the environment? What neural centers regulate heat production and loss? How is heat produced within the body? Q. What is BMI? Q. What does my BMI mean? |

Why is glucose important to human beings? Glucose is the primary source of energy for the body's cells, and blood lipids (in the form of fats and oils) are primarily a compact energy store. Glucose is transported from the intestines or liver to body cells via the bloodstream, and is made available for cell absorption via the hormone insulin, produced by the body primarily in the pancreas. You should know about pancreas, insulin, and glycolysis to understand the pathophysiology of this medical condition. |
