homeostasis/negative feedback system
The brain lives when it has a constant supply of blood glucose and oxygen.
Yes, cerebral blood flow is regulated by intrinsic autoregulatory mechanisms in the brain. These mechanisms ensure a relatively constant blood supply to meet the brain's metabolic demands, even when there are fluctuations in systemic blood pressure. Autoregulation helps to maintain stable oxygen and glucose delivery to the brain, supporting its constant function.
Keeping your blood pressure at a relatively constant level is likely to prevent strokes and other vascular accidents.
it is the maintenance of the internal environment of the body like keeping the blood glucose level constant or keeping the body temperature constant
The term for the body's ability to maintain a fairly constant blood-sugar level is called "glucose homeostasis." This process involves a complex interplay of hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.
A disorder of blood glucose regulation refers to conditions where the body has difficulty maintaining stable blood sugar levels. This can include disorders like diabetes, hypoglycemia, or impaired glucose tolerance. Proper management and monitoring of blood glucose levels are essential to prevent complications associated with these disorders.
Glucose and oxygen are transported to the brain through the bloodstream. They are carried in the blood vessels and are delivered to the brain cells through a network of capillaries. The brain relies on this constant supply of glucose and oxygen to function properly.

GLRAND is not a commonly recognized term in relation to blood tests. It is possible that you meant "GLU" or "GLUCOSE," which refers to a blood test measuring glucose levels to assess diabetes or metabolic conditions. If GLRAND refers to a specific test, please provide more context for accurate information.
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.
Correct, glucose is a blood sugar.
When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps cells take up glucose from the blood, lowering blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which stimulates the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, raising blood glucose levels back to normal.
