• positive and negative 
• receptor and effector
• static and dynamic
• minor and major

When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels.

• Negative Feedback Loop

What is the difference between what will happen if their is too much Glucose or too little Glucose? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

• With too much Glucose, Insulin is released. With too little Glucose, Glucagon is released.

• With too much Glucose, the pancreas produces insulin. With too little Glucose, the pancreas produces glucagon.

• With too much Glucose, Glucagon is released. With too little Glucose, Insulin is released.

• There is no difference.
