What body system controls the amounts of sugar in your blood?
The pancreas produces insulin (decrease blood glucose) and glucagon (increase blood glucose) and is the major endocrine organ for the control of blood sugar levels. The actions of the two hormones are short-term, and long-term controls could be achieved with glucocorticoids produced by the adrenal glands.
The regulation of blood sugar is accomplished by the organ called the what?
the pancrease
Is there any other examples of homeostasis?
Other examples of hoemeostasis include:=blood sugar (glucoregulation)==and==osmoregulation; the control of water concentration in blood and body fluids. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/bitesize/higher/biology/control_regulation/negative_feedback1_rev.shtml)=
Are blood glucose levels regulated by positive feedback?
No, blood glucose concentration is regulated by negative feedback. When blood sugar levels are too high, the alpha particles in the pancreas' islets of Langerhans signal the pancreas to produce more insulin, which regulates the sugar level by stimulating the liver and other body cells to absorb more glucose at convert it into either glycogen or fat. This lowers the blood sugar concentration. If it were positive feedback, high blood sugar levels would encourage the production of more glucose to increase the blood sugar concentration.
What happens when you put a red blood cell in concentrated salt solutions?
A red blood cell placed in a concentrated sugar solution will shrink and wrinkle. The red blood cell is hypotonic and the concentrated sugar solution is hypertonic. Water will rush out of the cell causing diffusion leading to the cell's shrinking.
What organ makes sugar?
There is no organ that makes sugar, necessarily. The organ that releases sugar, or helps with sugar absorption, is the pancreas. If this isn't working properly, it can result in blood sugar problems.
What do glucose monitors measure?
Glucose monitors measure blood sugar levels in humans. Many people who are diabetic or borderline diabetic must monitor their blood sugar levels. Glucose monitors for personal use can be purchased at almost any drug store.

Which high-street shops sell blood sugar monitors?
There are a number of high street shops that sell blood sugar monitors. Some of those shops include Walmart, Target, Boots, Walgreens and Lloyds Pharmacy.
What regulation of blood sugar is accomplished by what organ?
pancreas
Does hyperventilation raise or lower blood sugar blood CO2 concentration?
does nothing to blood sugar, and lowers co2 to almost nothing.
What's the least painful system for blood sugar testing?
Most blood sugar monitors require a small drop of blood,this can be painful. I would suggest the supplies at www.LibertyMedical.com .
