the liver.
How do glucagon works?
Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels are low, like when someone is fasting. It is released into the bloodstream by the alpha cells in the islets of langerhans in the pancreas. It causes the liver to convert the stored glycogen that it has into glucose. That glucose is released into the blood and increases the blood sugar level of the body.
What hormone is released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?
Glucagon is the hormone released by the kidneys when blood sugar levels fall too low. This hormone forces the liver to break down glycogen into glucose needed by the cells.
Does the liver Maintains glucose levels in the blood?
By playing PS3
Name the two main organs that are involved in blood sugar levels?
The two main organs involved in blood sugar regulation are the pancreas and the liver. The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon, hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, while the liver stores excess glucose and releases it as needed to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
The liver secretes what into the body?
the liver produces bile which is then stored in the gallbladder and the liver also releases glucose into the blood when the levels are low
What hormones are released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?
When blood sugar levels are low the pancreas will secrete glucagon which will stimulate the liver to breakdown glycogen (our reserve sugar supply) and stimulate gluconeogenesis which is converting fats and proteins into glucose (blood sugar).
When blood sugar levels are high the liver converts sugar to what chemicals?
glucagon
Which organ in the body may be damaged by high levels of cholesterol in the blood?

Would jaundice happen with liver failure?
The liver has many functions, one of which is to break down worn out and damaged red blood cells. If the liver fails, it is unable to break down the hemoglobin pigment in the old RBCs completely. The pigment turns from a bright red color to a yellow color and the yellow color circulates in the blood. If the concentration gets high enough (which it will in liver failure), the yellow pigment starts to settle out into the skin, eyes, tongue, etc where we see it and call it jaundice or icterus.
