In liver, glucagon stimulates glycogen breakdown via cAMP. Although you might expect glucagon to stimulate catabolism of the glu

cose formed as well, glucagon inhibits glycolysis and stimulates gluconeogenesis in liver. Which of the following is/are true? a. The function of glucagon is to decrease blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function. b. The function of glucagon is to decrease blood glucose pressure. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function. c. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function. d. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose pressure. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function.

Answer:

c. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function.

Explanation:

Glucagon is the enzymes synthesized and released by alpha cells of endocrine pancreas in association with food. Glucagon causes an increase in blood glucose levels and it does so by :

1) Inhibiting the process of glycolysis so that the glucose is used less.

2) Stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to increase the glucose concentration in the blood.

3) Stimulating gluconeogenesis in the liver thus increasing the synthesis of glucose in liver.

All these processes directly increase the level (concentration) of glucose in blood.

Hence option  C) The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function is true

Explain the negative feedback loop between baroreceptors, the cardiovascular (CV) center, and the heart. Address: dropping blood
marysya [2.9K]

Answer with Explanation:

Homeostasis<u> allows an organism to regulate its internal condition in order to adapt to a changing environment.</u> In order to maintain this, the positive and negative feedback mechanisms (loops) remain essential <em>when it comes to physiological processes that are deemed complicated.</em>

<em>Let's talk about the "Negative Feedback Loop."</em>

  • The "baroreceptors" are sensors in the blood vessels.
  • For example, when the body's temperature changes, the body's initial reaction is to return to its normal level. So, it goes the same way with blood pressure. When the baroreceptors sense an increase or a decrease in blood pressure, it communicates with the hypothalamus by sending a signal. Then, the hypothalamus sends a message to the organs that are responsible for returning the blood pressure to normal level. These organs are the heart, kidneys and blood vessels. So, if a person experiences a "dropping blood pressure," heart stimulation follows (causing an increase heart rate) due to hormonal vessel constriction. This also allows the kidney to retain more water, thereby increasing the blood pressure.

This is how all these elements work together to achieve homeostasis.
