When the body's blood glucose level rises,the pancreas secretes insulin and,as a result,the blood glucose level declines.When the blood glucose level is low,the pancreas secretes glucagon and,as a result,the blood glucose level rises.What is regulating the blood glucose level?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The regulation of blood glucose levels through the secretion of insulin and glucagon by the pancreas is an example of negative feedback. In negative feedback, the output of a system inhibits or reduces the stimulus of the system, in this case, the secretion of insulin reduces the blood glucose level, and the secretion of glucagon increases the blood glucose level, thus maintaining a stable blood glucose level.
