3 of 36
This increases?
concentration of glucose in the blood
4 of 36

8 of 36
To store what?
excess glucose
9 of 36

10 of 36
Since glucose is taken out of blood what happens to the conc?
concentration of blood glucose goes back to normal

not eat
sleep
13 of 36
This decreases?

The pancreas will then secrete?
glucagon
16 of 36
The glucagon will then travel in the?
bloodstream
17 of 36
The g________ causes the g_______ to break down back into g________ from the _______ and ______ cells?
glucagon causes the glycogen to break down back into glucose from the liver and muscle cells
18 of 36
The glucose is then released?
back into the blood
19 of 36
This causes the blood glucose conc to?
go back to normal
20 of 36
This is all called?
