Type II Diabetes
3D illustration depicting the anatomical and physiological elements related to type II diabetes. The main image shows the location of the pancreas within the digestive system of an anatomical figure. A call-out shows the pancreas in more detail. The pancreas is in cross-section with another call--out to show the plasma membrane of cells. This includes the insulin receptor with insulin, the glucose transporter, and glucose in the extracellular space. Though insulin is bound to the receptor, a red null signal from the insulin receptor indicates its nonfunction.
