  • Homeostasis
    • Blood Glucose
      • Adrenaline
        • Glycogen to Glucose
        • Inhibits Glucose to Glycogen
      • Islets of Langerhans
        • A cells release Glucagon
          • Amino acids and glycerol to Glucose
          • Glycogen to Glucose with enzymes
        • ? cells release insulin
          • Glucose to glycogen in liver
          • Increase respiratory rate
          • Glucose to Fat
          • Increase rate of absorption of glucose
    • Heart Rate
      • Pressure Receptors
        • Impulses along parasympathetic to med obl
          • Lower pulse
        • Impulses along sympathetic to med. obl
          • Increase Pulse
      • Chemoreceptors in carotid arteries
        • Lower pH => impulses to med. obl
          • impulses to SAN => increase pulse
