Check your answers:-)

Case

A. Mr. Alvin Reynaldo a 40Yr. old restaurant manager,while checking on his employees suddenly fainted. The staff at the restaurant brought him to the hospital for medical assistance.

When Mr. Reynaldo recovered, the doctor took his medical history and found out that he had experienced polyphagia, polyuria and polydypsia previously.

1-5. What is the likely diagnosis of Mr. Reynaldo's condition ? Explain your answer.

Mr. Reynaldo had signs of diabetes mellitus. The cause of the loss of consciousness of the patient is probably because of the high levels of glucose in his bloodstream.. Polyphagia, polyuria and polydypsia are three of the major symptoms of diabetes.

6-10. What laboratory test will the clinician be requesting?Explain your answer.
Blood glucose analysis for the detection of the level of glucose in the blood of the patient.

11-17. Hormone/s is/are responsible for Mr. Reynaldo's disease.
Insulin and glucagon are the primary hormones responsible for the level of glucose in the blood.

18-20. What treatment can you suggest?
Proper diet and exercise. Proper intake of the medication given to the patient.


Sample Questions:
1-2. Hormone that can be secreted by the pancreas _ insulin ________ & __Glucagon_______

3. Pancreas can be seen in the?__ retroperitoneal__________

4. Found in the in endocrine that secretes insulin and glucagon_ Pancreatic islets_________

5. It works with common bile duct to empty the duodenum_Pancreatic duct

6. Part of exocrine that secretes digestive enzymes_ Acinar gland(acini)______________________

7. These enzymes digest protein that come from the stomach and pancreatic amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates from the oral cavity_ Proteolytic enzymes (_Trypsin, Chymotripsin,Carboxy peptidase)

8. Stimulates the pancreas for the production of rich solution, which in turn is stimulated by the presence of fatty acids and amino acids from the duodenum__Cholecystokinin_______________

9. Alpha cells secrete glucagon
______________
10.Beta cells secrete insulin ______________

Pancreas

Anatomy and Physiology of the Pancreas


Pancreas

• An elongated gland extended to duodenum-spleen
• Having a head, body and tail that has exocrine portion that secretes insulin and glucagons
• Seen at retroperitoneal

A. PARTS

• Pancreatic islets- originate in endocrine that secretes insulin and glucagons.
• Pancreatic duct- unites with common bile duct to unfilled the duodenum.
• Acinar gland(acini)- a branch of exocrine that secretes digestive enzymes.

B. FUNTIONS


• Exocrine secretions has bicarbonate;

 That neutralized acidic juice or chime
 Stops pepsin digestion
 Provides proper function of the pancreatic enzymes.
 Helps in digestion of all classes of food.


• Proteolytic enzymes

 Trypsin
 Chymotripsin
 Carboxy peptidase

These enzymes digest protein that came from the stomach and pancreatic amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates from the oral cavity.

• Pancreatic enzymes

 Lipases- for lipid digestion
 Nucleases- lessen DNA and RNA from its nucleotide component.
 Secretin- produced watery pancreatic solution that has bicarbonate. Acidic chyme is the stimulus for the production of secretin.
 Cholecystokinin- stimulates the pancreas for the production of enzyme rich solution, which stimulated by the presence of fatty acids and amino acids from the duodenum

C. ENZYMES PRESENT IN THE PANCREAS

 Alpha cells- secretes glucagons
 Beta cells- secretes insulin.
