Studying hormones, homeostasis, and feedback loops
You’ve been studying hormones, homeostasis, and feedback loops. Let’s concentrate on glucose regulation. Diabetes is a very serious disease that is on the rise, particularly type 2 diabetes; not only in our own country, but around the world. Please visit this website and then discuss the questions below.

Can you draw on your own experiences or the experiences of someone you know to explain diabetes? What is hyperglycemia? Use the website above to explain how a patient can lower his or her blood glucose during hyperglycemia. There is a lot of information on this page. Please go beyond just giving the four or five main steps to control diabetes. Why do you think it is important to control diabetes to prevent hyperglycemia?
If you can, please include a discussion of your own experience with diabetes. Does someone you know suffer from this condition? How does he or she have to adjust his or her lifestyle?

Homeostasis
For the initial discussion assignment, define and describe homeostasis, and give one example (using specific terminology) of a negative or positive feedback loop in the body. Give an example of an imbalance in a body system and how it adjusts to bring it back to homeostasis, identifying normal ranges.
Homeostasis
Explain and discuss the physiology of a faster heart rate with a reduced blood volume and how it relates to homeostasis and feedback mechanisms.
