If you're like us, you love the sound of a brunch buffet. But not everything you eat at that glorious buffet is going to be turned into energy. Your body has to work with different forms of food in different ways. In this episode of Crash Course Anatomy & Physiology, Hank takes us through more about our metabolism including cellular respiration, ATP, glycogenesis, and how insulin regulates our blood sugar levels.

Looking for a refresher on ATP and Celluar Respiration? Check out this video from Crash Course Biology: /youtube/video/00jbG_cfGuQ

Pssst... we made flashcards to help you review the content in this episode! Find them on the free Crash Course App!
