• decrease body temperature
• increase body temperature
• regulate blood pressure

When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels. 

• Positive Feedback Response
• Negative Feedback Loop
