What effect does vasodilation have on blood pressure?
Vasodilation causes a drop in blood pressure.
What hormones are involved in blood glucose regulation?
Insulin causes the uptake of glucose from your blood into your cells. In a healthy person when blood sugar levels go up, insulin is secreted by the pancreas which causes a decrease in blood sugar. When they fall, your pancreas secrets glucagon, which causes cells to release sugar into the blood stream.
Why is it important to replenish blood glucose especially in the morning?
Your blood sugar and glucose are what fuel your bodies actions throughout normal activities of the day. (aka any activity that is not exercise) Your brain functions use glucose and blood sugars. If your blood sugar levels drop, your body can literally shut down. You can become irritable, sleepy and tired/delusional, as well as weak, all due to the lack of energy your body has. Normally people will ingest some form of sugar which will quickly cause a spike spike in your blood sugar levels. Your body releases insulin to level things out, but often overdoes it, leaving your blood sugar low. In the mornings, your blood sugar would be low due to not having eaten anything for a few hours. I'm not honestly sure how to fight low blood sugar. I was searching for answers when I came across this post. One would assume that if your blood sugar is low that you should just ingest more sugar, but that normally starts the process all over again and is apparently a bad idea. This is why people are addicted to caffeine and sodas. It's a vicious cycle. Eating sugar causes your bod to indirectly crave more sugar. The best thing to do is eat throughout the day and consume foods that don't cause a spike in your blood sugar levels. These foods contain complex carbohydrates and sugars in the form of oligo-saccharides and polysaccharides that take longer to digest and don't flood your system starting that chain reaction.
Does having food on your finger affect your blood glucose?
Yes it will affect the reading you get (not your actual blood glucose). If you have food (especially sugary food) on your finger where you take the drop of blood from, then the sugar from the food will mix with the blood and give a false reading. This is why it is important to wash the finger before testing blood glucose.
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.
