Question

Christopher is an endurance athlete. He often gets low blood sugar during his long workouts. Once the liver recognizes the release of glucagon from the pancreas, _______________ is released to help increase his blood sugar levels

Answer 1

Answer:

Glucose.

Explanation:

During periods of maximum efforts the heart pumps blood at 34 liters per minute, and this delivers oxygen to the muscles at 4 liters per minute. But this is insufficient to meet the oxygen requirement of the muscles. The pancreas produces insulin that changes the glucose to glycogen to maintain the body.
