The challenge is to uphold the principles of a School culture based on(Listen up(someone in crowd), 3 important values) Community, School spirit and Accountability. Our number one responsibility is to our school and by this I mean school and class collaboration. It would buuurn to see the last semester of Junior year just fizzle. I want people to be interested and involved, and Im willing to challenge myself to go the distance to motivate our class. We are the Junior Class of 2014.In 3 short months this is our school. My aim is to make you feel more appreciated, more recognized and more supported. Another principle of mine, Accountability. Were a class with the collaborative potential to enact anything we desire. As a Junior straight out of Jamaica I bring a whole new perspective. You see, serving as Student Council president at my last school involved far more formality. Impromptu annou ncements in front of 1600 students weekly, organizing fund raisers, talent shows, school clean ups and alumni concerts.These were all stepping stones to this opportunity. If elected I will make this position more than just a formality because I truly want this year to be special for us and I want to set precedents that will make junior year distinctive for every future class. Community- My last, favorite and shortest point. I have plans to utilize the connectedness of our class to brainstorm fundraising plans that bring out the excitement, spirit and power of this class.

It is the pancreas that is trustworthy for aiding the bodys endocrine gland system. (Darlington College 2011). The pancreas releases two endocrine hormones and it is these hormones that ensure the pitch glucose levels in spite of appearance the body are incessantly controlled. These hormones are glucagon and insulin and they are secreted from piffling clusters of cellular telephones within the pancreas, know as the islets of Langerhans. Glucagon is a hyper- glycaemic hormone, secreted by the islets alpha cells.Its master(prenominal) manoeuver is to increase the level of glucose in the wrinkle. This is a vital accomplish when blood pillage levels become low. Glucagon stimulates the coloured to break down its profusion glycogen into glucose. The glucose then passes into the blood stream and the homeostasis of blood glucose level is restored. Insulin is a hypo- glycaemic hormone that is secreted by the islets genus Beta cells, in reception to high blood glucose levels. Insulin decreases the level of glucose in the blood by stimulating its uptake by the skeletal muscles, liver and adipose cells.The skeletal muscles uptake glucos e, to give energy for movement and the glucose that travels to the liver is converted into glycogen, and stored here until it is needed. The adipose cells use glucose for cell metabolism. in one case sufficient glucose has been removed from the blood, the beta cells slow the secretion of insulin, so that homeostasis is again restored. (Glenn, 2005, pg84). Both insulin and glucagon are vital to ensure that the body constantly has enough fuel to supply its cells with the energy needed to en fitted them to function normally. Question 2 lances normal blood glucose intentness will be approximately 4. mmol. After he eats his fit meal his blood sugar levels will opening to around 8. 0mmol. This is because Peters meal will contain carbohydrates. In response to this rise in blood sugar levels insulin is secreted by Peters pancreass beta cells. The release of insulin facilitates the entry of glucose into his body cells and this vital process maintains the energy levels within the cell. Wh en glucose is absorbed in the cells, the blood sugar levels fall again. This occurs because the otiose sugar, present in the carbohydrates in Peters meal, that caused his blood sugar levels to rise, has been used up.This is what allows the blood glucose concentration to return to normal. (Glenn, 2005, pg85). When peters blood sugar levels drop, because he needs more food, glucagon is released from the pancreas alpha cells in response. Glucagon is a hormone that calls on the liver, which has its own glucose store, in the form of glycogen. Glycogen will release from the liver to allow the blood sugar to rise until it returns back to its normal rate. (Bowen, 2002). It is vital that Peters blood glucose levels are maintained at a normal rate, in-between his meals as large fluctuations in these levels can cause convulsions and could even induce a coma.Question 3 The bodys inwrought environment is constantly controlled and balanced by homeostasis. Homeostasis is the condition of equili brium that is maintained through the bodys response to a change in conditions. There are many regulating systems within the body that serve together to constantly control the home(a) environment. The restless system and the endocrine system work very closely alongside one some other to keep the body normal and in balance. Feedback systems are vital in keeping the body regulated. All feedback systems are made up of a receptor, a control centre and an effector.The receptor is able to detect any changes that may have occurred and send a message to the brain to fork it that it needs to respond. The brain acts as the control centre and is responsible for evaluating the messages it receives from the receptors. Once the messages have been processed the control centre generates a command, if one is needed. The commands are received by the effectors, which produce a response that is then able to change the controlled condition. (Darlington College 2011). A negative feedback system rever ses the change in a controlled condition.When the bodys blood glucose levels fall too low, specialised receptors surcharge up this information and relay it the hypothalamus part of the brain, which forms the control centre. The hypothalamus then activates the response of the effector that allows the bodys blood glucose level to rise. When the levels become within normal range the receptors stop picking up the messages and no longish send them to the hypothalamus. This prevents the blood glucose levels then becoming too high and enables homeostasis of the internal environment to be restored. (Darlington College 2011). Question 4The bodys endocrine and nervous systems work very closely together to form the bodys major communication system. If a problem arises with one of these systems, homeostasis is upset. For instance If the islets beta cells do not produce any insulin, such as in diabetes, the blood sugar levels will just continue to rise. This would cause extremely high blood s ugar levels which would in turn go on to affect the bodys nervous system and could result in a coma occurring. The nervous system works in company with the endocrine system by using nerve impulses and rapidly responding to stimuli, in order to adjust body processes.The integration of these systems is what enables homeostasis to constantly be maintained.
