necessary because human cells are efficient but very demanding. The phrase homeostasis is a bit confusing; conditions inside our bodies are not constant but are kept within a narrow range. Some factors such as temperature and blood PH change slightly while others such as blood glucose very considerably throughout a normal day without producing any harmful effects. A brief description of homeostasis is that it is maintenance of a constant internal environment in response to a change in external environment

much calcium into the bloodstream. The physician may order a blood test which measures the amount of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the blood. This test is used to help identify hyperparathyroidism or to find the cause of abnormal calcium levels. The PTH controls calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood. If the blood calcium level is too low‚ the parathyroid glands release more PTH. This causes the bones to release more calcium into the blood and reduces the amount of calcium released by the kidneys

On the other hand‚ insulin level in the blood lowers as the amount of glucose in the blood reduces. Insulin helps balance the amount of glucose in the body. When a person has high amount of glucose in the body‚ insulin helps to store them in the liver and they are released when the blood sugar level is low or when the person needs more sugar. This work
