Question

How is the glucose level in the blood maintained? Which body system, organs, and hormones are used and what do they do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Insulin is an hormone used to regulate blood glucose, as it helps to maintain a balance. It allows for transport of glucose to organs such as liver.

The process of glucose regulation is a complex process. When food is eating glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream this happen from the gut and it raises the blood glucose level this causes insulin(hormone) to be released from the pancreas so glucose can move inside the cells and be used.

As glucose moves inside the cells, the glucose level inside the bloodstream returns to normal and insulin release slows down.

Glucose which is the main energy source used by cells is allowed to be taken up by muscles, liver and fat (adipose tissue) and use as a source of energy so they can function properly.
