Exam (elaborations) MLT - Medical Laboratory Technician

pancreas is connected to?️️the small intestine Endocrine islet of langerghans are made up of three cell types️️Alpha cells, beta cells, and delta cells Alpha cells make?️️Glucagon which stimulates glycogen into glucose glycogenolysis. Beta cells make️️Insulin which promotes glycogenesis and lowers glucose levels Delta cells make️️Gastrin and somatostatin Amylase️️Break down startch and glycogen. Increased in acute panncreatitis Lipase️️Hydrolyzes fats to make alcohols and fatty acids. Increased in acute pancreatis. Cystic Fibrosis️️genetic dysfunction of exocrine glands like liver lungs saliva glands pulmonary disease intestinal malabsorption caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes excretion pancreatitis️️pancreas inflammation seenwith alcohol abuse gallbladder disorder can be acute or chroniccaused by release of pancreatic enzymes from cells into surrounding pancreatic tissue Diabetis mellitus️️Type I and II and GD notenough insulin that leads to hyperglycemia and the destruction of beta cells pancreatic cancer️️5% survival rate seen in pancreatic dust insulinoma at the beta cells in islets increased insulin and hypoglycemia Pancreatic exocrine Function test️️Secretin. Quantitative fecal fat. Sweat cl test(pilocarpine nitrate stimulated sweating). Enzyme testing(amaylase lipase) Glycogenesis️️Glycogen formation from glucose Glycogenolysis️️Glycogen breakdown to glucose Glycolysis️️Catabolism of glucose to pyruvate for ATP Gluconeogenesis️️Formation of glucose from aa and lipids Fasting plasma glucose for diabetes️️> or = 126 mg/dL 2 hr post prandial plasma glucose for diabetes️️> or = 200 mg/dL OGTT oralglucose tolerance test for diabetes️️> or = 200 Nonlactose fermenting, hydrogen sulfide producing, indole and VP negative but utilises citrate as a source of carbon️️Salmonella Rh haplotype among whites️️DCe antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing pattern for homogeneous️️nucleus (nuclei) of the interphase cell smooth staining in the nucleus of the interphase cells Chediak-Hegash Syndrome️️defined as the abnormal fusion of cytoplasmic lysozymes in granulocytes and occasionally monocytes. This condition is associated with albino characteristics, photophobia, and frequent infections (as the granules are dysfunctional and cannot fight infection appropriately) Alder-Reilly is associated with️️genetic mucopoly- sacchari
