=**Chapter 15.1: the Endocrine Glands**= A hormone is a chemical signal that is produced by on set of cells, which affects a different set of cells. The nervous system and the endocrine system are similar, but also very different. both systems use hormones in response to homeostasis, though they send and receive signals in different ways. in the nervous system, messages are sent through nerve impulses, whereas in the endocrine system, the blood stream is used to send signals.

=**Chapter 15.5: the Pancreas**= Insulin is produced by the pancreas and is used to control glucose levels in the human body. When a person has too much sugar in their system, insulin is secreted to balance out the sugar and maintain a stable glucose level. Insulin is the hormone that manages homeostasis in the glucose levels of the human body. It is a condition in which a person has high glucose levels and glucose in urine, as a result of too little insulin production. 100 grams of glucose are put into the human body to see how it reacts. If the insulin level doesn't decrease, then the body is not producing or recognizing enough insulin. It is characterized by too little insulin production. People with Type 1 diabetes must give themselves insulin shots usually after each meal to help control glucose levels. It is characterized by cells in the body that are resisting insulin. Because people with Type 2 diabetes are often obese, they are put on a low-fat and low-sugar diet. When a person has diabetes, they are often fatigued all the time due to a lack of sugar in the body. their body functions don't work properly, causing them to be hungry or thirsty at random times or to have weight fluctuations. they also urinate frequently.
