How does the feedback control system for insulin production work?
The control of blood glucose levels operates by what is known as a negative feedback mechanism. Here is a summary of the 2 control loops.When the blood glucose level goes upBlood sugar (glucose) rises;The pancreas detects the rise;The pancreas pumps out insulin into the blood;Insulin helps the uptake of glucose into muscles and other cells;This causes the blood glucose level to fall to its normal set point; andThe pancreas detects the fall and switches off insulin production.When the blood glucose level goes downBlood sugar (glucose) drops;The pancreas detects the drop in blood sugar;The pancreas switches on the output of glucagon into the blood;Glucagon signals the liver to break down glycogen into glucose;The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream;Blood glucose goes up to its normal set point; andThe pancreas detects the rise in blood sugar and switches off glucagon release.
What organ in the body detects changes in blood glucose level?
the liver
When the pancreas detects a high concentration of sugar in the blood it releases?
glucagon.
What is the hormone that signals the release of glucose out of storage?
When blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon, which signals the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream.
The hormone that signals the removal of glucose from the blood is called?
The main hormone that signals the release of glucose into the blood is Glucagon, however, it is used in conjunction with other hormones which also cause a release of glucose into the blood. These are somatostatin, Adrenaline (epinephrine for Americans), Cortisol and ACTH.
What does glucose produce?
Glucose is a kind of sugar that your body needs and categorizes as "food". Glucose is what makes up your blood sugar level. If your blood sugar is too low, your pancreas detects this and releases the hormone insulin. This hormone travels aroudnt the body to get to the liver. The liver detects the insulin and takes glucose out of your blood and stores it as glycogen. Glycogen is essentially glucose in strings which the Liver stores for later use when the body is in need of glucose. This happens when the body detects the presence of Glycogon. Whenever your blood has too low sugar levels the pancreas releases a hormone called glycogon which then travels to the target organ, the Liver. The Liver, then detects the presence of the hormone glycogon, and uses up its reserves (glucose). The glucose is now sent out into your bloodstream which stabilises your sugar levels.

What does pancreas secrete when blood glucose falls?
Pancreas detects blood glucose level by its cells called "Islets of Langerhans." When the blood glucose level is too high, it releases insulin. When it becomes too low, the pancreas then releases glucagon to elevate a low blood glucose.
Does circulatory system carry signals throughout the body?
no the circulatory system carries blood. the nervous system carries signals
What system supplies blood with glucose and other nutrients?
the digestive system
What signals the liver to store or release glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone created by the pancreas that signals the liver to release glucose when the blood sugar level is dangerously low by converting glycogen (glucose converted for long term "storage") into glucose in the process known as glycogenolysis. Insulin is the hormone created by the pancreas that tells the liver to convert excess glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar level is high in the process known as glycogenesis.
What is a True Track Smart System?
A True Track Smart system is a brand of glucose blood monitor. It requires you to apply a pin to your finger and then apply the blood to the monitor which will then tell you how much glucose is in your blood.
Glucose can be elevated in the blood of a diabetic person Relate this information to glucose in the urine and glucose carriers?
It is apparent that glucose levels are present in the blood system. It is also present in the urine, whereas it does not complete flush from blood and traces appear.
