- Normal blood glucose concentration
- Islets of Langerhans: B-cells detect blood glucose conc. is too high
- B-cells secrete insulin into the bloodstream via capillaries in the islets
- Insulin stimulates movement of glucose into cells to be used for respiration
- Blood glucose conc. decreases
- Normal blood glucose concentration
- Blood glucose conc. decreases
- Liver converts glucose from blood into glycogen
- Blood glucose conc. decreases
- Normal blood glucose concentration
- Blood glucose conc. decreases
- Insulin stimulates movement of glucose into cells to be used for respiration
- B-cells secrete insulin into the bloodstream via capillaries in the islets
- Islets of Langerhans: A-cells detect blood glucose conc. is too low
- A-cells secrete glucagon into the bloodstream via capillaries in the islets
- Glucagon stimulates glycogen in the liver to be converted into glucose
- Blood glucose conc. increases
