Question

hat is the relationship between diabetes, glucose in food, saliva, microvilli, blood transport of glucose, beta cells of pancreas, diabetes- elevated blood glucose, glomerulus, glucose in urine? Major emphasis on RELATIONSHIP

Answer 1

This is a relationship which tells about the journey of Glucose which enters into diabetic body from the carbohydrates and final excretion of it by through urine via kidney.

• The carbohydrates in the food taken by us is acted upon by a salivary enzyme called amylase which converts the carbohydrates into glycose.
• As the glucose moves down to the small intestine, it get absorbed into the blood stream by cell which have hair ended projection called microvilli.
• The presence of glucose in the blood stream triggers the beta cell of pancrea and in turn stimulate the production of insulin.
• In diabetes there is lack of insulin receptors or insulin itself. However, if there is glucose in the blood but enough amount of insulin is not present, it will limit the uptake of glucose and instead a part of kidney called glomerulus will take the glucose from blood stream.
• The kidney will ultimately filter out this glucose when the person will urinate. This urine gives a ketonic odor to the urine.

Hope it would help you understand the relationship.
