homeostasis

• what is the function of homeostasis?

  maintaining normal body conditions
• explain stage 1 of glucose concentration increasing

  there is an increase of blood glucose concentration
• explain stage 2 of glucose concentration increasing

  increase is detected by the pancreas
• explain stage 3 of glucose concentration increasing

  pancreas release insulin
• explain stage 4 of glucose concentration increasing

  pancreas converts glucose to glycogen and stored in the liver
• explain stage 5 of glucose concentration increasing

  blood glucose concentration goes back to normal
• explain stage 1 of glucose concentration decreasing

  there is a decrease in the bloods glucose concentration
• explain stage 2 of glucose concentration decreasing

  decrease is detected by pancreas
• explain stage 3 of glucose concentration decreasing

  pancreas releases glucagon
• explain stage 4 of glucose concentration decreasing

  glucagon converted to glycogen to glucose in the liver
• explain stage 5 of glucose concentration decreasing

  blood glucose concentration returns to normal
• what is glucagon?

  a hormone
• describe the reaction that occurs in liver cells in response to insulin

  glucose is converted to glycogen
