Question

Describe how blood glucose levels are regulated in normal health.

Answer 1

Answer: The blood glucose level is maintained by the endocrine gland. The pancreas have cells known as islet cells. The alpha cells of islet cells produces glucagon where as beta cells produces insulin. The insulin adjuts the excessive glucose level in the blood and store it.The pancreas releases insulin according to the blood glucose level in the body. If the glucose level is too low, the insulin release decreases. The glucagon also plays major role as it gives instructions to the liver to convert the glycogen in to glucose when the blood sugar level is too low.
