Insulin+Hormones+Class+Notes+CC

Steroid hormones are fat and go through the membranes Peptid hormones can't get through the cell and the receptors are on the surface.

Why do some cells actually hear the signal and attract the hormones? RECEPTORS -the hormone and the receptor have to match

-Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that the body uses to convert the food you eat into energy you need in your every day life -Body breaks down food in to sugar which is a source of energy for your body -Pancreas releases insulin when you have eaten allowing your body to take in the sugar -pump lets glucose into the cells -matches with an insulin receptor and glucose can enter the cells insulin resistance-often the body produces insulin but the body can't use it in the right ways, not allowing sugar to enter your cells because the receptor wont accept the insulin.

Type 2 diabetes: When you dont have insulin... (diabetes/no match) -glucose/sugar will stay in the blood -symptom- high blood sugar, urinate a lot, thirsty, vision affected, tired -Urinate a lot because of the hyperglycemia it causes the kidneys to put excess sugar in the urine and water from blood enters urine to dilute urine. -only 5-10 percent of diabetes cases are type 1 -usually found as a child -High blood sugar can damage blood in the blood vessels in your kidneys, nerves, eyes, and heart
