liver are able to decrease glucose levels within the blood by converting it into polysaccharide glycogen, a storage unit for glucose that has no osmotic properties. This stores glucose essential to the body for later use for when blood glucose levels decrease from the set point. Glucose is a small , soluble molecule obtained from foods rich in carbohydrates and plant based foods that when consumed by the human body is carried in the blood plasma (receptors for insulin is embedded into the plasma)

(deficiency) of the following blood cells: • Red blood cells (RBCs). Having too few RBCs is called anemia. • White blood cells (WBCs). Having too few WBCs is called leukopenia. • Cells that help the blood clot (platelets). Having too few platelets is called thrombocytopenia. Cells that become blood cells (stem cells) are made in the soft tissue inside the bones (bone marrow). All blood cells have a limited lifespan. Blood cells are constantly replaced with new blood cells from the bone marrow
