FILL IN THE BLANKS

31.
You are taking a test, a really big test, and you have been stressed about the

32. test since the weekend. This prolonged stress causes the 29 gland to release
30 which goes to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands release 31, which
33. increases blood glucose under stressful but not life threatening situations. This
increase in blood glucose causes the 32 to make 33 which allows the cells to
34. use the glucose and decreases blood glucose. Some people have a disorder
called 34 which prevents the 32 from making 33.
35.
If too much 33 is released, blood glucose will decrease until the 32 releases 35
which will increase blood glucose by having the 36 create glucose from
36.
glycogen.
