Figure three shows how efforts ranging from thirty to ninety percent of a riders max power will utilize the glycolytic energy system. The glycolytic system is dependent…

People that have diabetes have high levels of glucose which is also known as high blood sugar (Shuldiner 2014). The body naturally breaks down carbohydrates into glucose in which the body produces insulin to us the glucose as energy.

Homeostasis is performed so the body can maintain its internal set point. Negative feedback is the predominant mechanism used in homeostasis. Negative feedback works to correct a deviation from a set point and tries to get back to the set point or the typical state of a bodily system. It usually causes the output of a system to be lessened or even increased to stabilize the system. The negative feedback control system responds when conditions change from the ideal set point and returns…
