Negative Feedback glucose

Cards (8)

  • Insulin
    Travels to the liver and instructs the liver to convert glucose to glycogen and tells cells to absorb more glucose for respiration
  • Glucose levels increase
    Pancreas gland releases insulin
  • Blood glucose needs to remain constant
  • Homeostasis is dependent on a negative feedback loop
  • Glucagon
    Travels to the liver and instructs the liver to convert glycogen to glucose and release it into the blood
  • Glucose levels decrease
    Pancreas gland releases glucagon
  • Glucose is needed for respiration to release the energy in it using oxygen
  • Glucose levels are detected by receptor cells in the pancreas
