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.

When blood glucose level rises the pancreas secretes insulin and as a result blood glucose level declines when blood glucose level is low the pancreas secretes glycogen and as a result blood glucose?

When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps cells take up glucose from the blood, lowering blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which stimulates the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, raising blood glucose levels back to normal.


What does the pancreas secrete to raise glucose level?

The pancreas secretes glucagon to raise blood glucose levels. Glucagon acts on the liver to break down glycogen into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream to increase blood sugar levels.


How is the level of sugar in vertebrate blood kept constant?

The blood sugar level is controlled mainly by two hormones.1.Insulin 2.Glucagon.Both hormones are secreted from Pancreas. When blood glucose level (sugar level) increases, Insulin is secreted from beta cells of islets of Langerhans in Pancreas. it increases the cellular uptake of glucose which in turn reduce the glucose level in the blood. When glucose level decreases in the blood, Alpha cells secrete Glucagon. It decrease the uptake of glucose by cells and increase glucose level.Over level of glucose also expelled through urine (Diabetes Mellitus)Mainly insulin & Glucagon are the controllers of blood glucose level.


What pancreatic hormones maintained blood glucose levels?

Insulin and glucagon are the two pancreatic hormones that work together to maintain blood glucose levels. Insulin helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells, while glucagon helps raise blood glucose levels by stimulating the release of stored glucose from the liver.

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.


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.

Insulin decrease glucose level.Glucogon increase glucose level.


i have a blood glucose level of 116 is that high ?

What is the hormonal response to a decrease in blood glucose level?

The hormonal response to decrease in blood glucose is glucagon.... which actually increases the blood glucose level...

What is blood glucose level and why you?

Blood glucose is the level of sugars in the blood. Some glucose sugar in the blood is normal, however lower or higher than normal levels can indicate medical issues, particularly diabetes


Where can I check my glucose level if I am going on a glucose diet in the future?

You can check your glucose level at any one of the drug stores. Walgreens has a glucose machine and you can check your glucose level, blood pressure and cholesterol level.


What effect does excess secretion of epinephrine do to the blood glucose level?

HYPERGLYCEMIA. because epinephrine increases the blood glucose level by increasing glycogenolysis.


What are the term used when the person having blood glucose level below and above the critical level?

The term used when a person has high levels of glucose circulating in the blood is Hyperglycemia. For someone who has low levels of glucose the term is Hypoglycemia.Hyperglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too high.Hypoglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too low.The general term for a rapid loss or gain of glucose is 'glucose shock.'A fasting blood glucose level above 126 milligrams per deciliter is considered hyperglycemic. A blood glucose level of below 50 milligrams per deciliter is considered hypoglycemic.


What does insulin control the level of in blood?

Blood sugar (or what is more specifically known as blood glucose level).
