Parietal Lobe The Parietal Lobe is one of the four lobes that acts as the control center of the brain‚ and is located in the back of the head directly under the skull bone. Since the parietal lobe handles functions of focus‚ cognition‚ and perception‚ a person’s spatial perception or sense of touch‚ and visual perception or differentiation (identification) of size‚ shapes and colors will be challenged. .

Iodine is an element that is critical for normal function of the thyroid gland‚ which is a key regulator of the body’s basic metabolic rate. Iodine is a micronutrient‚ meaning we require only small amounts of it. For example‚ adults need about 150 micrograms of iodine in the form of iodide ion per day. However‚ an insufficient supply of iodide via diet and drinking water causes the non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland known as goiter. Prolonged lack of iodide can lead to loss of thyroid function

The five hormone’s that play a role in regulation of glucose metabolism are Insulin‚ Glucagon‚ Epinephrine‚ norepinephrine‚ and cortisol. Insulin is located in the pancreas and the action of insulin is remarkable and also not as complex as most people would think. Glucose is taken up by a muscle that is at rest‚ which in turn regulates blood glucose concentration. This process isn’t difficult to understand because it isn’t as many parts to the process. Glucagon also finds itself located in the pancreas
