Complex carbohydrates require digestion in order to be broken down into glucose and to help maintain proper blood sugar levels.
Insulin and Glucagon and what happens to the person has skipped e meal?
After a person has skipped a meal, the person's blood glucose level will stay at its normal level as there isn't any glucose absorbed. To maintain this normal blood glucose level, the pancreatic cells will secrete glucagon which stimulates the body to convert stored glycogen into glucose. There won't be any insulin secreted as insulin is only secreted when the blood glucose level increases beyond its normal level (for example, after a meal).
How does the body control glucose?
The body releases hormones to maintain the blood-sugar concentration. Insulin encourages the muscle and liver to absorb an insoluble form of glucose (glycogen) if the concentration rises too much. If the level falls, a second hormone - glucagon - is secreted to revert glycogen back into glucose, and stimulates the blood to absorb it. This homeostatic balance is crucial to our survival, as too little and too much sugar in the blood can be dangerous.
How does the body's systems work together to maintain balance?
Well your body works to maintain homeostasis (which is balance) so for example if there is to much glucose in your blood then your body will produce insulin to love sugar level and maintain homeostasis its a natural body function
