Homeostasis
LO Describe how blood glucose levels are
controlled.

Key Words
Homeostasis

Homework: Outline the symptoms and treatment of Type 1

Diabetes, answer review questions, complete worksheets and booklets

Controlling blood glucose- copy onto

workbook page
Too high- hyperglycemia (organ
damage, headaches, damage to
retina)

Set Point

We need a constant amount of glucose

available for our cells to us in

respiration.

Too low- hypoglycemia- faint, coma

Blood Sugar
Keywords
Glucose

A sugar used in respiration to make energy

Glycogen
A storage substance made of glucose, it is stored in the liver.
Insulin
A hormone (chemical messenger) it tells your body to change
glucose into glycogen. It is made by the pancreas.
Glucagon

A hormone that tells your liver to change glycogen back into

glucose. Also made by the pancreas..

The Pancreas
Makes Insulin &
Glucagon that
controls........
blood sugar levels
in our bodies.
