GlucagonINSULIN causes glucose to be removed from the blood stream by having it stored in the form of Glycogen in muscle and liver cellsGLUCAGON causes glycogen to be broken down from liver and muscle tissue and releases glucose into the blood stream, thus increasing circulating blood glucose levels. The hormone, released by the pancreas, is insulin.
Which organ adds or removes glucose from the blood as necessary?
The pancreas is responsible for regulating blood glucose levels by producing insulin to remove glucose from the blood when levels are high, and producing glucagon to add glucose to the blood when levels are low.
Which is the burial ground for the red blood cells?
The spleen is the burial ground for red blood cells. When red blood cells become old or damaged, they are removed from circulation by the spleen where they are broken down and recycled.
