What is low levels of glucose in the blood called?
diabetes
Do low blood glucose levels cause weight loss?
No
Insulin is released into the blood when?
The body takes up more glucose
When blood glucose levels are low liver cells convert more glucose to glycogen?
The other way around. When blood glucose levels are low, the liver converts stored sugar, glycogen, into blood sugar, glucose. You can remember it this way: glyco-GEN GEN-nerates glucose.
How does the liver contribute to the regulation of glucose levels in the blood?
The liver helps regulate glucose levels in the blood by storing excess glucose as glycogen when levels are high and releasing glucose into the bloodstream when levels are low. It also helps convert other substances into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis.
What is glucose receptors?
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.
What is a response of the body to change in blood glucose?
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
What is the typical response of the body to changes in blood glucose?
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
What physiological trigger will result in the sensation of hunger?
low glucose levels
How does low glucose levels affect pregnancy?
Low glucose levels can cause serious problems in pregnancy if not treated straight away. You are best to consult your health care professional who can then recommend appropriate treatment.
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 are healthy blood glucose levels?
Well, a healthy level of blood glucose wouldn't be too high or too low. Instead, it would be in the middle between high and low. Unhealthy levels of blood glucose would be an extremely high number.
