In this case, when a person eats food,he gets glucose. Blood sugar most be kept at constant so the endocrine system release the hormone insulin. Insulin helps to convert glucose to glycogen, which is the form it can be stored in the liver

When the blood sugar levels is low, the brain which is the control center causes glucagon to be released . This hormone converts glycogen to glucose
