Diabetes Mellitus - Four major types -Type 1 DM -Type 2 DM -Gestational diabetes -Other specific types-Latent diabetes (1.5) Alpha Cells - Glucagon Beta Cells - Insulin Delta Cells - Somatostatin Normal blood glucose - 70-110 Glycolysis - The first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Glycogenesis - The formation of glycogen from sugar. Ketones - When your cells don't get the glucose they need for energy and your bo...

Stages of general adaptation syndrome - 1. Alarm Initial reaction Sympathetic nervous system 2. Resistance Adaptation Limit stressor 3. Exhaustion Adaptation failing Disease develops Edema - Excess fluid in the interstitial space Dehydration (ECF volume deficit) - Can occur independently without electrolyte defects Decrease in fluid level leads to increase in level of blood solutes Cell shrinkage Hypotension Hypovolemia or fluid volume deficit - Decreased fluid in the intravascular...

CCRN Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass Where is ADH made? - Answer- Hypothalamus Where is ADH Stored? - Answer- Posterior Pituitary Where does ADH act to make the kidneys hold onto water? - Answer- Distal Convoluted & Collecting Tubules Disease of too much ADH = too much water! The increased ADH causes less urine output, decreased Na levels (dilutional hyponatremia) & Hypo-osmolarity. It is caused from Oat Cell Carcinioma, Viral PNA or head problems, also sometimes anesthesia, analges...

NU 308 Exam 1 Questions And Answers Define low osmolarity and high osmolarity: ANS Low osmolarity: low number solutes in solvent High osmolarity: high number of solutes in solvent Define interstitial space. What do we use to treat fluid buildup in interstitial space: ANS Interstitial space is space between cells and vessels. The treatment for fluid buildup in the interstitial space is to give albumin (which increases oncotic pressure, and causes the fluid to go into the intravascular sp...
