How the hormones glucagon and insulin work together to control blood-glucose levels?
The pancreas has specialized cells that make two different hormones, insulin and glucagon. These two hormones control the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin lowers blood-glucose levels by telling the liver to convert glucose into glycose and to store glycogen for the future. Glucagon has the opposite effect. It tells the liver to convert glycogen into glucose and to release the glucose into the blood.
What is the name of the hormone necessary to control the amount of glucose in blood?
insulin
