This assignments looks at medical impacts of not maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability to be able to control the internal environment in response to the environmental changes around us. Homeostasis is important in our body because homeostasis helps up to control and keeps our internal structures at bay, for example it helps keep our temperature at the right level as if you take a hot shower and your temperature rises the homeostasis in our body that bring back down the normal level . If homeostasis were not present in our bodies we would have a lot of adverse effects whenever we entered new environments.
Blood glucose is the amount of sugar that is transported into the blood were it gives energy to all the cells within the body. It is important that the level of glucose is kept at a constant level. This is controlled by the insulin in the pancreas which is then secreted, and this controls the blood level sugars in the body. The blood sugar then travels from the pancreas to the liver and that then travels down into the bloodstream. It is important to maintain good glucose levels and this is because it’s essentially for a normal brain function. The brain can only use glucose and ketone as fuel but mostly it is important for the glucose level to be strong and stable. Glucose is better known to many as sugar. Maintaining a normal level of blood glucose is important for brain function as well as providing the body with energy and keeping metabolism up. Glucose comes from carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, cereal and fruit. During digestion carbohydrates are broken down in the stomach into glucose. When homeostasis is not maintained then those with diabetes would be high at risk .The reason being is that those with diabetes won’t be able to control the level of glucose that is being produced and if the glucose levels continues to remain high then that
