The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin, and it
Pancreas and Type 1 plays a major role in regulating blood glucose levels.
diabetes Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not
make enough or any insulin.
Insulin pumps are small, computerized devices that

How does insulin work in delivering small doses of short acting insulin
diabetes? continuously (basal rate). The device also is used to
deliver variable amounts of insulin when a meal is
eaten (bolus)
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful
chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in your body.
Chemotherapy is most often used to treat cancer,
since cancer cells grow and multiply much more
quickly than most cells in the body. It targets cells that
chemotherapy
grow and divide quickly, as cancer cells do. Unlike
radiation or surgery, which target specific areas,
chemo can work throughout your body. But it can also
affect some fast-growing healthy cells, like those of
the skin, hair, intestines, and bone marrow.

salts affect primarily the gastrointestinal tract and the
kidneys, and can cause severe kidney damage;
however, as they cannot cross the blood-brain barrier
easily, these salts inflict little neurological damage
without continuous or heavy exposure.

Macromolecules are large molecules composed of
thousands of covalently connected atoms.
Macromolecules Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are

many monomers linking together, forming a polymer.
Passive transport is a movement of ions and other
atomic or molecular substances across cell
membranes without need of energy input. Unlike

active transport, it does not require an input of
cellular energy because it is instead driven by the
tendency of the system to grow in entropy.

concentration gradient. Active transport requires
cellular energy to achieve this movement.
