Question

About 12 to 24 hours after the last meal, a person's blood sugar level normally varies from 60 to 90 mg per 100 ml of blood, although it may rise to 130 mg per 100 ml after meals high in carbohydrates. That the blood sugar level is maintained within a fairly narrow range, despite uneven intake of sugar, is due to the bodily process called_______________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Homeostasis.

Explanation:

The insulin and glucagon hormone are important for the maintenance of the blood sugar level in the body. The glucagon increase the blood sugar level whereas insulin decreases the blood sugar level.

The homeostasis may be defined as the process of the maintenance of the normal physiological conditions of the body irrespective of the change in the external and internal environment. The change in the blood sugar level can be maintained by the insulin and glucagon hormone and is important for the homeostasis maintenance.

Thus, the answer is homeostasis.
