Question

how does our body maintain blood sugar level

Answer 1

Heyaa folk,

Glucose is a sugar needed by cells for respiration. It is important that the concentration of glucose in the blood is maintained at a constant level. Insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, controls blood sugar levels in the body. It travels from the pancreas to the liver in the bloodstream. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored. Glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal.

Hope it helps u :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The hormone called Insulin helps to maintains the level of sugar in blood.

Explanation:

• When the sugar level in the blood increases beyond normal:

1. The beta cells of the pancreas produce and secretes insulin in the blood.
2. The insulin after reaching the liver cells binds to specific receptors and signals them to produce specific sugar transporter proteins on the liver cell surface.
3. These sugar transporters takes up excess sugar from the blood and stores them in the form of glycogen.
4. After the sugar level in the blood becomes normal, the insulin molecules leave the receptors.

• When the glucose level in the blood falls below normal:

1. The beta cells of the pancreas stops producing insulin.
2. In absence of insulin binding to their receptor on the liver cells, the sugar transporters are removed from the liver cell surface.
3. No more sugar is taken up by the liver cells.
4. Sugar is added into the blood by the liver by converting the glycogen to glucose, process known as glycogenolysis.
5. This continues until glucose level becomes normal.
