que=
The condition in which an individual has very high blood sugar levels is known as

a. hyperatrophy
b. hyperopia
c. hyperglycemia
d. hypothyroidism

que=
Insulin dependent diabetes is characterized by the interference with insulin secretion because

a. the hypothalamus of the brain has been attacked and no ADH can be secreted, resulting in diabetes insipidus
b. a lack of iodine has resulted in a low production of thyroxine, hindering growth and development
c. a viral or bacterial infection has destroyed the cortex of the adrenal gland, making the body more susceptible to infections
d. a virus or the body's immune system has destroyed the beta cells of the pancreas

que=
The two types of cells and their respective hormones, contained within the islets of Langerhans, are

a. alpha cells → glucagon; beta cells → insulin
b. alpha cells → insulin: beta cells → glucagon
c. alpha cells → cortisol; beta cells → epinephrine
d. alpha cells → epinephrine; beta cells → cortisol

que=
When blood sugar levels drop,

a. glucagon is secreted to stimulate the breakdown of liver glycogen into glucose
b. insulin secretion is increased to raise blood sugar levels
c. adrenaline allows the muscle to absorb more glucose
d. secretin is produced to stimulate glycolysis

D -- The underlying mechanism involves an autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Diabetes is diagnosed by testing the level of sugar or A1C in the blood.

a. alpha cells → glucagon; beta cells → insulin
b. alpha cells → insulin: beta cells → glucagon
