Damn you, Pancreas!

The question was 'Give a detailed example of how the body maintains homeostasis thru a negative feedback system'. I went with 'the hypothalamus sends a hormone named glycogen to the liver, which in turn reduces sugar levels in the blood'

Bzzzzzz! Wrong! Damn you, Pancreas! It is the Pancreas which secretes insulin that in turn tells the liver to absorb glycogen (it's a sugar, not a hormone). Oh, it's not the hypothalamus who starts this process, but the adrenal gland. Doh!

Tonight was my first major Biology test. Except for the above question, I think I did well. I also had to turn in a meticulously well-organized lab notebook. I worked on that thing all weekend long. The notebook should fly well too.

So I think I'm going to reward myself and have a bit of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice-cream. I haven't had some ice cream in a long time. The cold weather killed my cravings for it all winter long. Alas, the weather's getting warmer.

I'm going to satisfy my sweet craving then hit the bed.
