Cards (7)
glucagon
: hormone produced by
alpha cells
in
islets of langerhans
in
pancreas
that increase blood glucose levels
gluconeogenesis
: happens in the
liver
- conversion of non
carbohydrates
to
glucose
happens when glucose supply is
exhausted
glycogenesis
: happens in the liver - conversion of
glucose
into glycogen
glycogenolysis
: happens in the
liver
- breakdown of glycogen to glucose
if blood glucose is too low, you may not have enough glucose for respiration
if
blood glucose
is too high, it can disrupt
water potential
of blood
blood glucose conc.
increases when:
carbs are broken down into
monosaccharides
in small intestine and absorbed into blood
glycogen
stores in liver are broken down to release glucose
when other substances are converted into glucose
