Pretend you are a teacher preparing a quiz for the text I will provide. 
            Each quiz question should follow the format below. 
            Ensure that you carefully recheck the questions and answers for accuracy. 
            The output should be a ready-to-use list of dictionaries for the Python eval function:

            [

                    "question": "WRITE THE QUESTION HERE",
                    "options": ["A) OPTION_1", "B) OPTION_2", "C) OPTION_3", "D) OPTION_4"],
                    "answer": INDEX_OF_CORRECT_ANSWER_IN_OPTIONS_LIST,

it is the heat conservation 
center of the hypothalamus 
which is stimulated.

The thermoregulatory center sends impulses to several 
different effectors to adjust body temperature.

Note that some of the responses to low temperature actually generate 
heat (thermogenesis), whilst others just conserve heat.

The exact responses to high and low temperatures are described in the table below:


The thermoregulatory centre normally maintains a set point of 37.5 ± 0.5 °C in most 
mammals. However the set point can be altered in special circumstances:1.Temperature Homeostasis (thermoregulation)


Fever. Chemicals called pyrogens released by white blood cells raise
the set point of the thermoregulatory center causing the whole body 
temperature to increase by 2-3 °C. 
This helps to kill bacteria, inhibits viruses.

Blood Glucose Homeostasis 

Glucose is the transport carbohydrate in 
animals, and its concentration in the blood 
affects every cell in the body.

Blood Glucose Homeostasis 

Its concentration is therefore strictly controlled within the blood.

Very low levels (hypoglycemia) or very high levels (hyperglycemia) 
are both serious and can lead to death. 

Blood glucose concentration is controlled by the pancreas.  The pancreas has glucose receptor 
cells which monitor the concentration of glucose in the blood, and it also has endocrine cells 
(called the Islets of Langerhans), which secrete hormones. 
Dr: Asma’a Al-Hnhna


The α-cells secrete the hormone glucagon, while 
the β-cells secrete the hormone insulin.

These two hormones are antagonistic, and have opposite effects on blood glucose:Blood Glucose Homeostasis

1. Increases transport and uptake of glucose by the cells.
2. Promotes storage of glucose – glycogenesis:
(in the liver it stimulates the conversion of glucose to glycogen).
3. Inhibits glycogenolysis prevents the breakdown of glycogen into glucose 
4. Inhibits gluconeogenesis prevents the formation of glucose from proteins
1. Insulin is the only anti-diabetic hormone secreted in the body, it is the important hormone 
that is concerned with the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism and blood glucose level. 
i.e. it is the only hormone in the body that reduces blood glucose level. 
Insulin reduces the blood glucose level by its following actions:

2. Glucagon stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver (glycogenolysis), 
and in extreme cases it can also stimulate the synthesis of glucose from pyruvate. 
It therefore increases blood gluco
