What is a negative feedback regulation of a hormone?
Put simply, negative feedback is the process by which a change is detected and then an action occurs to neutralise the change, i.e. negatively affect the change.For example, if blood glucose receptors measure a high amount of glucose in the blood, the the beta cells of the islets of langahans secrete insulin which increases glucose uptake and jump starts glycogenesis, ultimately decreasing the blood glucose levels.
How insulin signals a cell to take in glucose from the blood?
The insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of muscle or liver cells. This opens up little holes in the cell membrane called glucose transporters. Glucose flows through the glucose transporter due to the concentration gradient of glucose being higher in the extracellular environment. This is called diffusion. The membrane only stays permeable (open) to glucose so long as there is insulin bound to the receptors on the cell surface. Eventually the insulin is released and the glucose transporter closes. The cell then starts to digest the glucose via complicated processes called glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
How might your body senses when to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen back to glucose?
Your body seeks to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen to glucose based on hormonal signals that are secreted in response to an event. i.e. if you ate tons of sugary food, your body will secrete a hormone called insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas, so that glucose in the blood will be able to be stored as glycogen in the muscle cells.
When the level of increases in the blood chemical receptors will the medulla oblongata?
when the level of oxygen increases in the blood , chemical receptors will inhibit the medulla oblongata
How is energy obtained by cells?
They use the mitochondria in the cell's cytoplasm to change glucose (in your blood) to energy the cell can use
What is glucose receptors?
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.
Where are the receptors that sense changes in blood glucose?
the pancreas
How does glucose enter cells from the blood stream?
Glucose is basically sugar so i would say by mouth.
How does glucagon change plasma glucose?
Glucagon increases amount of glucose in blood by breaking down of glycogen to glucose .

What is a response of the body to change in blood glucose?
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
What does insulin cause the liver to change glucose into?
Insulin causes the glucose in your blood to enter the cells for energy. It does not cause the liver to change glucose into anything. Your liver does, however, store extra sugar in the form of glucagon.
How do you check glucose?
Clinistix and Diastix are paper strips or dipsticks that change color when dipped in urine. The test strip is compared to a chart that shows the amount of glucose in the urine based on the change in color
What is carotid baroreflexes?
There are receptors on the lining of the carotid artery that sense a change in blood pressure. When they are stimulated, they can cause a drop in blood pressure/heart rate.
Is glucose a blood sugar?
Correct, glucose is a blood sugar.
Can anyone help me with the rare blood type FC?
