Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When glucose levels are low in the blood, the alpha cells of the pancreas produce glucagon. Glucagon stimulates the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream to increase glucose levels. Beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin which lowers the glucose level in the blood, and delta cells produce somatostatin which inhibits the secretion of insulin and glucagon.
