- Control of blood glucose
- IF TOO HIGH
- detected by Beta cells
- secrete INSULIN
- bind to specific receptors on liver cells and muscle cells
- more glucose channels place in plasma membrane
- more glucose enters cells
- Glucose in cell converted to glycogen (storage)
- GLYCOGENESIS
- more glucose converted to fats
- More glucose used for respiration
- BLOOD [GLUCOSE] falls
- more glucose converted to fats
- Glucose in cell converted to glycogen (storage)
- GLYCOGENESIS
- BLOOD [GLUCOSE] falls
- Glucose in cell converted to glycogen (storage)
- more glucose enters cells
- more glucose channels place in plasma membrane
- bind to specific receptors on liver cells and muscle cells
- secrete INSULIN
- detected by Beta cells
- IF TOO LOW
- detected by ALPHA cells
- secretes GLUCAGON
- binds to specific receptors on liver cells (hepatocytes)
- coversion of glycogen to glucose
- GLUCOGENOLYSIS
- use of more fatty acids
- production of glucose by conversion of fats and amino acids
- GLUCONEOGENESIS
- coversion of glycogen to glucose
- binds to specific receptors on liver cells (hepatocytes)
- secretes GLUCAGON
- detected by ALPHA cells
- IF TOO HIGH
