Homeostasis - control of blood sugar level
- insulin and diabetes type 1 and type 2 diabetes - diet, obesity and body-mass
index
Doc Brown's biology exam revision study notes
Sub-index for this section on
how your body controls your blood sugar level
(1)
Why
the need to control the blood sugar
level?
(2)
The negative feedback mechanism for controlling the concentration
of blood glucose
(3)
Types 1 and 2 Diabetes - problems with insulin, how to
regulate it, measures of
obesity
See
also homeostasis - water content control - urea -
kidney function
homeostasis - thermoregulation and temperature control
Keeping healthy - non-communicable diseases
- risk factors
