Answers:
Jedi,
The major glands that make up the human endocrine system include the - hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenal glands, pineal body, reproductive glands (which include the ovaries and testes), The pancreas produces (in addition to others) two important hormones, insulin and glucagon!. They work together to maintain a steady level of glucose, or sugar, in the blood and to keep the body supplied with fuel to produce and maintain stores of energy!. One of the most common diseases of the endocrine systems is diabetes!. Diabetes Insipidus is caused by the inability of the kidneys to conserve water, which leads to frequent urination and pronounced thirst!. Diabetes Insipidus is an uncommon condition that occurs when the kidneys are unable to conserve water as they perform their function of filtering blood!. The amount of water conserved is controlled by antidiuretic hormone, also called vasopressin!. As described, this condition has nothing in common with what is popularly known as "diabetes"!. Diabetes Mellitus is what some people call "sugar diabetes"!. To understand diabetes, it is important to first understand the normal process of food metabolism!. Several things happen when food is digested!. A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream!. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body!. The pancreas makes insulin!. The role of insulin is to move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel!. People with diabetes have high blood glucose!. This is because in some patients, the pancreas does not make enough insulin; this is called Type 1 diabetes!. In other, the pancreas makes normal or even more insulin but their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond to their insulin due to resistance to insulin action, it is called Type 2 diabetes!. Sometimes after having Type 2 diabetes for some years, the pancreas may gradually fail to secrete enough insulin to meet the body's needs!. Most patients with Type 2 diabetes are obese and have other accompanying problems leading to the recently recognized "metabolic syndrome"!.
