Glycogenolysis is the term for when the body breaks down glycogen to produce glucose. It is regulated based on the body's blood sugar levels. It also is connected to the flight-or-fight response, as the release of epinephrine stimulates it.
Yes
Alpha cells in the pancreas detect low blood sugar and secrete glucagon. Glucagon travels to the liver to stimulate breakdown of glycogen reserves (glycogenolysis) and stimulate gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose).
glycogen metabolism is the terminology used for both glycogen synthesis and glycogen degradation ,glycogenesis and glycogenolysis .both of these pathways are exactly opposite to each other because both of these pathways involve different enzymes glycogenesis is carried out by enzymes HEXOKINASE,PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE,UDP-GLUCOSE-PYROPHOSPHORYLASE,and GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE. glycogenolysis is carried out by enzymes GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE,PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE,and debranching enzyme (GLUCAN TRANSFERASE).
The splitting of glycogen to release the single glucose units is called glycogenolysis. Lysis refers to 'splitting'.
insulin I m not really very sure but you can ask it to your prof.
Glucagon
At the fasting time
Phosphorolysis
It occurs in the liver.
Yes

Glycogenolysis
Olympic runners deal with glycogenolysis by drinking plenty of water and ensuring to have a completely balanced diet that is devoid of high sugary carbs.
Eventually, the end product of glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle will be ATP in order to produce energy for muscle activity. Unlike the glycogenolysis in the liver, the produced glucose from glycogenolysis in the skeletal muscle is not released in the blood stream, because it will directly go to the glycolysis pathway to be consumed to generate pyruvate. Pyruvate will be converted to acetyl-coA to be used in citric acid cycle for production of ATP.
the hormones that stimulate glycogenolysis and increase glucose levels in the blood are? answer: glucagon and adrenaline hormones
