Pancreas is the organ responsible for the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. They are responsible for the absorption of nutrients within the small intestines that produce enzymes for further breakdown of ingested nutrients. It is an exocrine organ that is part of the digestive system which produces hormones like insulin, glucagon, somatostatsin, and pancreatic polypeptide that are found in the blood.

A human eats a meal and afterward their blood glucose levels rise. Explain how the human body responds to return their blood glu

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bloodstream carries glucose-a type of sugar produced from the digestion of carbohydrates and other foods-to provide energy to cells throughout the body. Unused glucose is stored mainly in the liver as glycogen.

Insulin , glucagon, and other hormone levels rise and fall to keep blood sugar in a normal range. Too little or too much of these hormones can cause blood sugar levels to fall too low (hypoglycemia) or rise too high (hyperglycemia).

Normally, blood glucose levels increase after you eat a meal. When blood sugar rises, cells in the pancreas release insulin, causing the body to absorb glucose from the blood and lowering the blood sugar level to normal. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal
