• 3-6mM

• 3-7mM

• 4-6mM

• 4-7mM

Specialised groups of cells that store fat. Known commonly as body fat. Largest reserve of energy in mammals.

• Endothelial tissue

• Epithelial tissue

• Adipose tissue

• Nervous tissue

The main type of cell found in the inside lining of blood vessels, lymph vessels, and the heart.

• Nervous tissue

• Adipose tissue

• Epithelial tissue

• Endothelial tissue

A type of body tissue that forms the covering on all internal and external surfaces of your body, lines body cavities and hollow organs and is the major tissue in glands.

• Nervous tissue

• Epithelial tissue

• Endothelial tissue

• Adipose tissue

The formation of glycogen, the primary carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscle cells of animals, from glucose.

• glycogon

• glyconeogenesis

• glycolysis

• glycogenesis

A metabolic process that creates glucose from non-carbohydrate sources such as lipids.

• gycolysis

• glycogenesis

• glycogen

• glyconeogenesis

Blood vessels that have small pores, or “windows,” in them.

• fenestrated capillaries

• fenestrated arteries

• fenestrated veins

A hormone formed in the pancreas which promotes the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver.

• adrenalin

• insulin

• epinephrine

• glucagon

A hormone produced in the pancreas. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscle cells.

• Epinephrine

• Insulin

• Glycogen

• Glyserol

Are chemical messengers made up of small chains of amino acids that are synthesised and released by neurons.

• Insulin

• Neuropeptide

• Glucagon

• Vasopressin
