Controlling blood glucose levels in the animation, you saw that both high blood glucose levels and low blood glucose levels are
stimuli that trigger specific responses by the body. these responses cause blood glucose levels to return to their normal range. in this activity, you will explore how this happens.
There are 2 main hormones that can control blood glucose levels : insulin and glucagon. Both of them are produced in the pancreas. If the blood glucose level is too high, insulin can help by converting glucose into glycogen, the storage form of carbohydrates. If the blood glucose is too low, glucagon can covert glycogen back into glucose to increase blood glucose level. Both of these hormones can work together to control blood glucose level in body.
