Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elevated blood glucose triggers the pancreas to secrete insulin, which stimulates cells to take up glucose from the bloodstream. This helps to lower blood glucose levels and maintain homeostasis. Option A is incorrect because decreased insulin secretion would result in continued elevation of blood glucose, which is the opposite of maintaining homeostasis. Option C is also incorrect because continued elevation of blood glucose would not be a response to elevated blood glucose, but rather a result of it.
