- Normal blood sugar
- The beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas secrete insulin which travels in the plasma of the blood.
- The insulin attaches to receptors on the cell which open gated channel proteins and allow glucose to enter by facilitated diffusion. This happens in muscle and liver cells.
- The secretion of insulin causes:
- Absorption of glucose into cells- increased cellular respiration.
- Glucose--> glycogen glycogenolysis
- Glucose--> fat
- Normal blood sugar
- The secretion of insulin causes:
- The insulin attaches to receptors on the cell which open gated channel proteins and allow glucose to enter by facilitated diffusion. This happens in muscle and liver cells.
- Alpha cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas will produce glucagon.
- This will happen in the liver cells.
- This causes:
- Glycogen--> glucose glycogenolysis
- Amino acids--> glucose gluconeogenesis
- Normal blood sugar
- This causes:
- This will happen in the liver cells.
