bloodstream which plays a role in regulating the concentration
of glucose in your blood through a process known as glucose
homeostasis.
What is glucagon and how does it work? - ANSWER -When
glucagon binds to
the glucagon receptors, the liver cells convert the glycogen
into individual
glucose molecules and release them into the
bloodstream.
Which organ systems are involved in glucose balance and

ANSWER -Liver, pancreas,
muscle
What is diabetes? - ANSWER -A condition whereby the body is
not able to regulate levels of glucose (a sugar) in the blood,
,resulting in too much glucose being present in the blood. In

become resistant to
insulin
Where is glycogen stored? - ANSWER -Liver
, Insulin promotes - ANSWER -glycogen
synthesis
movement of
GLUT 4
Pancreas releases - ANSWER -insulin
2. insulin binds to receptors
3. promotes glycogen synthesis
4. and movement of GLUT 4
The blood glucose receptor is used to replace - ANSWER -the
functions of the
pancreas
Hypoglacemia means? - ANSWER -Low blood glucose levels
How do the liver and pancreas work together to regulate
glucose levels? - ANSWER -Liver is turns and stores the
excess glucose as glycogen to use for energy when the
pancreas produces insulin. The liver breaks down glycogen
into glucose when the pancreas produces glucagon
How does exercise help diabetics control their blood glucose?
- ANSWER -For
two diabetes exercise promotes glucose receptors
independent of insulin
