CORRECT/ACCURATE ANSWERS
Net Filtration Pressure Equation
NFP = BHP - (COP + CP)
Define Metabolism
the sum of all chemical reactions
What is catabolism?
reactions that break bonds in large molecules to make small
molecules
energy is released during this process
What is glomerular filtration rate?
the amount of filtrate produced in one minute
- females (105ml/min)
- males (125ml/min)
What controls the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?
blood pressure within the afferent arteriole
* consists of:
- Autoregulation
, - hormonal regulation
- autonomic regulation
What is anabolism?
Reactions that create bonds between small molecules to make
larger molecules
energy is consumed during this process
What is glucose?
a simple sugar
What is glycogen?
Storage form of glucose
What is glycogenesis?
formation of glycogen from glucose
What is glycogenolysis?
breakdown of glycogen to glucose
What is glycolysis?
breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid
What is glyconeogenesis?
The process of forming glucose from non-carbohydrates
What is glucagon?
A hormone secreted by the pancreas when blood glucose is low.
What hormone is secreted by the pancreas and activates in a pre-
absorptive state?
insulin
