This diagram shows how the body keeps blood glucose at a normal level. Drag each label to the appropriate location on the diagram. BioFlix Activity: Homeostasis - Regulating Blood Sugar Liver breaks down and releases glucose into the blood. Pancreas releases glucagon. Pancreas releases insulin. Blood glucose increases to normal. High blood glucose. Glucose. Blood glucose decreases to normal. Homeostasis: Normal blood glucose level. Glucose level. Low blood glucose. Body cells take up more glucose. Liver takes up glucose and stores it as glycogen.

List the steps in order of how the body responds when blood glucose levels fall. Homeostasis is achieved. The liver releases glucose. The body senses a fall in blood glucose levels. Blood glucose levels rise. Alpha cells release glucagon.

Part 1: In the image, 4 major steps of the physiological pathway are marked. For each one, explain what is happening in the cell, connecting the physiological change to cellular processes. Use the specific pathways and vocabulary covered in your answers. Release of insulin Removal of glucose from the blood Storage as glycogen Release of glucose into the blood Part 2: There is more than one pathway triggered and outcome in cellular activity when the insulin receptor is activated. What are some of the other outcomes, and how do they fit together with what we know about insulin's regulation of homeostasis and metabolism?
