2.1.5 Blood Glucose Regulation

POLYSACCHARIDE (sugar) that is stored in the liver (and muscles) for an emergency energy supply.

• glucose
• glycogen
• glucagon
• sucrose

• glucose
• glycogen
• glucagon
• insulin

What "detects" a change has occurred in the blood sugar feedback?

• response - increased glucose uptake into cells

• receptor/sensor - brain/pancreas detect high blood glucose

• stimulus - high blood glucose level following a meal

• control center - pancreas cells secrete insulin

What controls the change that has to happen to make things normal again?

• response - increased glucose uptake into cells

• receptor/sensor - pancreas/brain detect high blood glucose

• stimulus - high blood glucose level following a meal

• control center - pancreas cells secrete insulin
