Homeostasis - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Attacks and destroys insulin producing cells(beta cells)
      - Genetic
      - Body does NOT produce insulin
      - Autoimmune destruction of beta cells
      - Usually begins in childhood
  - - - Body produces insulin, but cells do not respond properly
      - More common in adults
      - Linked to lifestyle: poor diet, low activity
  - - - Treatment → Insulin injections
    - - Treatment → diet, exercise, medication
- - - - This process is called glycogenesis
- - - - Form new glucose from fats/proteins
        
        This is gluconeogenesis
- - - - symptoms
        
        Frequent thirst
        
        Frequent urination
    - - Causes:
        
        Skipping meals
        
        Intense exercise
        
        Too much insulin
      - Problems
        
        Shaking
        
        Sweating
        
        Dizziness
        
        Confusion
        
        In severe cases → unconsciousness
    - - Causes
        
        Diabetes
        
        large sugary meals
        
        Too little insulin
      - Problems
        
        Long-term → organ damage
        
        Fatigue
        
        Thirst
        
        Increased urination
- - - - Increases blood glucose level
        
        Released by alpha cells
        
        Helps cells take up glucose
        
        Prevents fat breakdown
    - - Reduces blood glucose levels
        
        Released by beta cells
        
        Converts glycogen → glucose (glycogenolysis)
        
        Stimulates glucose formation (gluconeogenesis)
