Drama In The Endocrine System

You don't have to watch CSI to experience action-packed drama. Molecules and cells inside your body have dynamic adventures on microscopic levels all the time. For instance, when insulin molecules, carried passively along in the blood, attach to protein receptors of nearby cells, the response is dramatic : Glucose molecules begin to disappear from the blood into the cells, and cellular activity accelerates.

How terribly dramatic...NOT.
Can you believe this rubbish?
God save me.
What am I doing studying something I absolutely do not understand!?
