Glucose Regulation

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

How does the body respond to high blood sugar levels?

• By releasing glucagon

• By releasing insulin

• By increasing heart rate

• By decreasing body temperature

In response to glucagon production

• The liver converts glucose to glycogen

• The liver converts glycogen to glucose

Insulin production is increased in response to what?

• Blood glucose concentration rising

• Blood glucose concentration falling

What role does glucagon play in blood sugar regulation?

• It decreases blood sugar levels

• It increases blood sugar levels

• It converts glucose to glycogen

• It inhibits insulin production
