What is the maintence of homeostasis?
it is the maintenance of the internal environment of the body like keeping the blood glucose level constant or keeping the body temperature constant
What substance needs to be maintained to give cells a constant supply of energy?
oxygen and glucose
Summarize easy explain how glucagon and insulin work together to maintain a relatively constant blood sugar level?
Glucagon is a hormone that converts glycogen stored in the liver into Glucose (Sugars). When our blood sugar level fall below normal, glucagon will convert the glycogen stored to sugar (Glucose) to ICREASE our blood sugar levels: Glucagon is used when blood sugar levels fall below normal and glucose is needed to raise the levels. Insulin is necessary for the body to convert sugar, starches into energy needed for daily usage, Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and released into the bloodstream when glucose (Blood Sugar) levels are on the rise, When the body has a high blood sugar, Insulin in released, breaking down the glucose and LOWERING the blood sugar levels.
How do you keep glucose level constant?
There is a substance in your blood that changes glucose into fat, but if your diabetic your body stops making the substance and so you have to ingect insulin if your type 1 diabetic or your take tablets if your type 2, which converts tne glucose ito fat. I know this because y dad is diabetic =)
Is fat is the primary fuel for the brain?
Glucose is the only fuel normally used by brain cells. Because neurons cannot store glucose, they depend on the bloodstream to deliver a constant supply blood glucose. A process called glycogenolysis can break down glycogen stored in the liver to glucose. This then travels in the blood to your brain or muscles in need of glucose.
The glucose level in the blood remains fairly constant homeostasis is maintained by a feedback loop that may be triggered by?

What is the term for the ability of the body to maintain a fairly constant blood-sugar level in spite of variations in intake of sugar?

A fasting blood glucose of 137 is a concern. A random blood glucose of 137 is not a concern.
