Can you think of an example other than body heat where a negative feedback loop is utilized with the body?
Increased blood sugar will cause insulin production to rise and the cells will store the excess sugar, increased blood pressure causes a slower heart rate and decrease in oxygen levels will increase red blood cell production.
What medications cause blood glucose levels to rise?

What is the difference between fructose and glucose in terms of their effects on the body's blood sugar levels?
Fructose and glucose are both types of sugar, but they affect the body's blood sugar levels differently. Glucose is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. Fructose, on the other hand, is processed by the liver and does not cause as sharp of a spike in blood sugar levels. This difference can impact how the body metabolizes and stores these sugars.
What is the feedback mechanism of insulin?
An increase in blood sugar levels cause the release of the hormone insulin by the pancreas. Insulin then lowers this blood sugar level restoring it to original non-lethal blood glucose levels.
How smoking effect on blood glucose?
Smoking can increase blood glucose levels by causing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, leading to insulin resistance and reduced glucose uptake by cells. Smoking can also damage blood vessels, affecting blood circulation and the body's ability to manage glucose effectively. Overall, smoking can contribute to higher blood glucose levels and exacerbate diabetes complications.
Blood sugar levels are lowered by?
It is lowered by insulin, which is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas in an area called the Islet of Langerhans. Blood glucose is also suppressed by somatostatin which is produced in the delta cells of the pancreas.
What are beta cells?
Cells located in the pancreas that produces insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose in the blood and, when glucose levels spike, cause certain cells to 'suck up' the access glucose and store it.
