Concept explainers
Introduction:
The negative feedback loop involves the regulation of the blood glucose levels in the blood through the action of the glucagon and insulin hormone. The decrease in the level of glucose in the blood causes the break-down of glycogen to form glucose and is initiated by the action of glucagon hormone. The increase in the levels of glucose in blood causes the secretion of insulin hormone from t pancreas, which causes the glucose to form glycogen in the liver. The intake of the meal causes the increase in blood glucose levels which causes the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. This causes the conversion of the glucose to glycogen; therefore the level of the blood glucose decreases.
