Blood Glucose Negative Feedback System Schematic Diagram

insulin glucagon glucose feedback mechanism

The following schematic diagram illustrates Blood Glucose Negative Feedback in the terms of rises and falls of blood glucose levels into normal levels. The Blood Glucose Negative Feedback involved components such Islet beta cell of pancreas, Insulin, glucagon, fat/adipose cells with glycerol and fatty acids, liver cells, and the turnover of glucose and glycogen. …

Homeostasis Diagram of Insulin and Glucagon in Controlling Blood Glucose

This diagram below shows how insulin and glucagon control blood glucosehomeostasis. Insulin and glucagon are the chief hormones that control carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin is a powerful hypoglycaemic agent, whereas glucagon, its counterpart, is a hyperglycaemic agent. In the liver, glycogen is easily broken down to glucose (glycogenolysis). Glycogen is broken down into pyruvic acid or lactic acid in anaerobic conditions in the muscle tissue, w…
