Blood glucose regulation
Biology · Secondary 4 · Medium · Blood glucose regulation
A person with type 2 diabetes has consistently high blood glucose levels after meals. Which statement describes how a healthy person’s body normally returns blood glucose to the normal range after a sugary meal?
- The pancreas secretes insulin, causing cells to take up glucose and store it as glycogen.
- The pancreas stops producing all hormones so glucose cannot be absorbed from the gut.
- The liver releases more glucose into the blood to dilute the sugar already present.
- The kidneys stop filtering glucose so its level in the blood falls.
