This is so the blood has a good osmotic balance and for the brain to get its ample amount of glucose. 

When Blood Glucose Levels are higher than normal, then Insulin is secreted. This decreases blood glucose levels.

When Blood Glucose Levels are lower than normal, then Glucagon is secreted. This increases blood glucose levels.]]> 2021-01-28 18:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1137938137 srcbuenaventura21 https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138013238 2021-01-28 18:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138013238 Diabetes srcbuenaventura21 https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138017106 A disease where blood glucose levels are too high. Symptoms may include frequent urination and thirst and hunger. 

Type I Diabetes: body can't produce insulin. AKA insulin-dependent diabetes.

Type II Diabetes: the body fails to utilize the insulin. AKA non insulin-dependent diabetes.]]> 2021-01-28 18:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138017106 Thyroxine srcbuenaventura21 https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138099908 Hormone that regulates metabolism and body temperature. Produced in the thyroid gland. Thyroxine activates nuclear transcriptions of genes to synthesize enzymes, proteins and other substances. 

Just like any other substance in the body, too much or too little of Thyroxine can lead to diseases and conditions such as goitre. ]]> 2021-01-28 18:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138099908 srcbuenaventura21 https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138148840 2021-01-28 19:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138148840 What is Melatonin? srcbuenaventura21 https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138180895 2021-01-28 19:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138180895 Remember: srcbuenaventura21 https://padlet.com/srcbuenaventura21/3v8hbn4xj1k5vsg3/wish/1138215645 Melatonin levels are higher when you are sleepy.
