INTRODUCTION Our body produces vast amount of hormones to regulate the biochemical processes. One of the crucial hormones which act in endocrine system is the insulin. It is a small protein containing 2 chains of 51 amino acids where A chain with 21 amino acids and B chain with 30 amino acids link together by a disulphide bond. It is produced by the beta cells in pancreatic islets to maintain the blood glucose at optimum level. When there is a rise of glucose in the blood especially after meals‚

Food Processing in Human Body System. Foods are very important to human body. According to Vittadini et al. (2001)‚ foods provide energy that isneeded for human in order to do daily activities. Besides that‚ food is important for growth and it supplies vitamins and minerals to repair any damage in human skin and also prevent the body to get illnesses easily (Vittadini et al.‚ 2001). Human body cannot use food that they eat directly until it is broken down into small molecules(Campbell et al

occur‚ and the brain has a difficult time functioning properly. On the other hand‚ excessive amounts of glucose within the bloodstream can cause nerve damage‚ blindness‚ cardiovascular issues in the lower extremities‚ and kidney malfunctions. The pancreas is the main organ in the body that helps to regulate blood glucose levels within the body‚ releasing insulin when levels are high and glucagon when levels are low. In this experiment‚ we were interested to see how exercise impacted the body’s

An introduction to enzymes Enzymes are the foundation of energy and the life force in all living things. They are responsible for building‚ detoxifying‚ and healing the body. They are also the force that allows your body to digest and absorb food. Enzymes also regulate tens of thousands of other biochemical functions that take place in the body every day. Without enzymes‚ seeds would not sprout‚ fruit would not ripen‚ leaves would not change color‚ and life would not exist. Therefore‚ the study

Homeostasis is the control of internal conditions‚ be it temperature‚ specific blood conditions or other variables within living organisms‚ the purpose of homeostasis is to provide a consistent internal environment for set processes to occur. The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce hormones and release them into the blood‚ they cause certain reactions to occur in specific tissues. The endocrine system affects a large number of the body’s functions‚ including‚ metabolism‚ sexual function
