Have you ever thought about all the amazing things your body does on its own to help keep you alive? When you first get out of bed in the morning, your body manages to regulate your blood pressure. How does it do that? When you walk outside on a cold winter morning, your body manages to keep your body temperature at a constant 37oC (98.6oF). How does it do that? After you eat your lunch, your body manages to regulate the sugar level in your blood. How does it do that? You will discover answers to these questions and much much more as you explore our first unit: Biochemistry!
