Negative and Positive Feedback
Storyboard Text
- Okay, Lia. Come with me
- Mom! I am super hungry right now. My friend has this really fancy diet and I wanted to try it. I can't go on any longer!
- Okay...um, I am confused. I just want food right now.
- Do you know why you are feeling so hungry right now? It is because the negative feedback loop in your body is trying to set you back.
- Ohhh cool! It's trying to stabilize the glucose levels in my body!
- Listen, it's very interesting! The glucagon in your body is pushing the sugar out of your cells and into your bloodstream. Because you haven't eaten, your blood is lacking glucose. So, the hormone is helping you.
- You can be healthy and eat an apple right now! It's on the counter.
- Really, Mom? Just an apple? If I eat this I won't satisfy my hunger and the negative feedback loop won't reset my body!
- Yes! Great job, I totally can cook but I was testing you, hahaha. Let's go out to eat then!
- Now I know what a negative feedback loop is! I won't go on any weird diets from now on because I want my body to feel comfortable.
