2. When blood glucose levels are high, the pancreas releases , which promotes the uptake of glucose by cells.
3. is a hormone that increases blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to convert glycogen into glucose.
1. Briefly explain the concept of homeostasis in relation to blood glucose regulation.
2. Describe the feedback loop involved in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.
