Q
  1. Mary has finished a large meal. Her blood is being flooded with sugar from this meal. How does her body prevent her blood sugar from going to high?

Glucagon will cause glucose that is stored in the liver to enter her blood

Her pancreas will secrete glucagon. Glucagon will cause the sugar to move into the body cells from the blood.

Insulin will cause glucose that is stored in the liver to enter her blood

Her pancreas will secrete insulin. Insulin will cause sugar to convert into glycogen to be stored in the liver.

A

Her pancreas will secrete insulin. Insulin will cause the sugar to convert into glycogen to be stored in the liver.

Q
  1. Describe how skin helps maintain body temperature if a person becomes warm/cold
A

Blood vessels in the skin constrict to decrease the amount of blood that flows through them. This allows heat to stay inside the body. Sweat glands in the skin reduce perspiration to none. Hairs on the skin stand up because the arrector pili muscle has contracted which produces goose bumps on the skin reducing skin surface area.

Blood vessels in the skin enlarge to increase the amount of blood that flows through them. This allows heat to movefrom the body into the outside environment. Sweat glands in the skin produce perspiration.
