In this assignment I will explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. I will be explaining two body systems these are Respiratory system and Digestive system. Energy According to Wright (2007)‚ we need energy for everything we do. Energy can be found in different forms including chemical energy‚ electrical energy‚ thermal energy‚ radiant energy‚ mechanical energy and nuclear energy. We use energy all the time including when we are sleeping. We

Describe this organ’s role in carbohydrate‚ lipid (including triglyceride and cholesterol)‚ and protein metabolism. Her liver is being attacked. With carbohydrate metabolism sugars enter the liver from the small intestine via the hepatic portal vein. The liver maintains the blood glucose level at about 90 mg glucose per 100cm3 of blood. Initiated by insulin‚ the liver converts all sugars
