Which cells in the liver handle incoming glucose?

  1. Hepatocytes
  2. Histiocytes
  3. Hemocytes
  4. Holocytes
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Hepatocytes

1. They either pass it on or store it. 2. They are the liver's own cells. 3. In the liver, hepatocytes either pass the glucose on or store excess glucose as glycogen. 4. So the answer is hepatocytes. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 24 'Metabolism and Nutrition'_

Glucose and fructose are examples of which sugars?

  1. Structural sugars
  2. Simple sugars
  3. Stored sugars
  4. Starchy sugars
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Simple sugars

1. Starch and glycogen are the contrast. 2. These two are single units. 3. Glucose and fructose are examples of simple sugars. 4. So the answer is simple sugars. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 24 'Metabolism and Nutrition'_

BMR is measured while the body is in which state?

  1. Postural rest
  2. Postnatal rest
  3. Postabsorptive
  4. Postoperative
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Postabsorptive

1. The measurement is taken at rest. 2. It must not be confounded by digestion. 3. BMR describes daily energy expended at rest, in a neutrally temperate environment, in the postabsorptive state. 4. So the answer is postabsorptive. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 24 'Metabolism and Nutrition'_
