When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes the body's blood sugar levels to rise.
What role does insulin play in maintaining homeostasis?Insulin helps maintain homeostasis by regulating blood glucose levels. Homeostasis is a steady state of balance within the body despite any changing conditions. When we eat, our blood glucose level increases. The pancreas senses this and releases the hormone insulin.
What is the main role of insulin?The role of insulin in the body
If you don't have diabetes, insulin helps: Regulate blood sugar levels. After you eat, carbohydrates break down into glucose, a sugar that is the body's primary source of energy. Glucose then enters the bloodstream.
How is blood glucose maintained by homeostasis?Glucose Homeostasis: the balance of insulin and glucagon to maintain blood glucose. Insulin: secreted by the pancreas in response to elevated blood glucose following a meal.
