What strategy does the body use for blood glucose homeostasi

What strategy does the body use for blood glucose homeostasis? release of hormones by the brain energy stores in bone allow for quick glucose release glucose usage by the brain is shut down when necessary the action of two antagonistic effectors the kidneys are important homeostatic organs, contributing to maintenance of all of the following EXCEPT blood volume. destruction of worn-out red blood cells. blood pressure. ion concentration of extracellular fluids. blood pH. In mammalian kidneys, blood in the vasa recta and fluid in the loop of Henle flow in opposite directions to create a ____ multiplier system. homeostatic reversible countercurrent stepped exponential Select the incorrectly-matched organism and its primary nitrogenous waste product. most fish-ammonia mammals-urea reptiles-uric acid birds-uric acid insects-ammonia

Solution

Answer 7: The action of two antagonistic effectors.

Hormones released from pancreas to regulate blood glucose homeostasis are antagonistic in nature.Too much blood glucose causes release of insulin from pancreas.Insulin facilitates in reducing blood glucose level.While too little blood glucose causes release of glucagon from pancreas that helps in increasing glucose level.

Answer 8: Destruction of worn out red blood cell.

Elimination of worn out red blood cell and recycling of iron is mainly done by liver and spleen.Macrophages in liver and spleen are responsible for destruction of worn out red blood cells.

Answer 9: Countercurrent mechanism.

Countercurrent mechanism exist when fluid flows in opposite direction but in parallel and adjacent tubes. Two limbs of vasa recta and loop of henle are example of countercurrent mechanism.

Answer 10: Insects- ammonia

Nitrogenous waste in insect is uric acid not ammonia.Uric acid is byproduct of ammonia metabolism in insects,birds and reptiles.
