    Being able to control and maintain appropriate amounts of glucose in the bloodstream is vital to the functioning of many systems within the body. Without adequate amounts of glucose, skeletal muscles cannot function properly, vision becomes disturbed, headaches and moodiness can occur, and the brain has a difficult time functioning properly. On the other hand, excessive amounts of glucose within the bloodstream can cause nerve damage, blindness, cardiovascular issues in the lower extremities, and kidney malfunctions. The pancreas is the main organ in the body that helps to regulate blood glucose levels within the body, releasing insulin when levels are high and glucagon when levels are low. In this experiment, we were interested to see how exercise impacted the body’s…
