Why the concentration of glucose in the blood rises after a meal?
After a meal, glucose levels rise. This causes the pancreas to excrete insulin. Insulin causes cells in the liver, fat, and muscle tissue to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. This makes the blood glucose levels decrease again to a normal rate.

No, but insulin is a hormone that regulates the body's production of glucose.
Can you think of an example other than body heat where a negative feedback loop is utilized with the body?
Increased blood sugar will cause insulin production to rise and the cells will store the excess sugar, increased blood pressure causes a slower heart rate and decrease in oxygen levels will increase red blood cell production.
The major effect of insulin is to?
decrease blood sugar
Which part of the is responsible for production of insulin?
insulin produced by beta cells of the pancreas
Which organ destroys the insulin after it has its effect?
The liver and kidneys destroy insulin after it has its effect. The pancreas is the site of insulin production.
