    • blood glucose concentration can effect the amount of osmosis taking place in and out of our body
    • water leaves our cells via osmosis
    • if too much water leaves, our cells become flacid.
    • flacid
      when too much water leaves the cells, wich leaded to jobs like the cytoplasm.
    • if the cells hold to much water and the concentration of water is too high, the cells burst.
    • when glucose leaves are too high the pancreas produces insulin
    • insulin produces glucose that makes glycogen that is stored in the liver and muscles
    • insulin and glucagon are hormones
    • someone who has type 2 diabetes can still produce insulin however the no longer respond to the insulin. glucose is not made wich mean there is not glycogen so the blood concentration remains high
    • the blood glucose remains within a small limit in type 2 diabetes
