| Front | Negative feedback mechanism for when there is a rise in blood glucose concentration |
|---|---|
| Back | Pancreas detect blood glucose concentration is too high Beta cells secrete insulin Alpha cells stop secreting glucagon Insulin secreted directly into blood Insulin binds to receptors on cells Change of shape of glucose carrier proteins so that they open and let more glucose in Increase the number of glucose transport proteins (Cells have vesicles of carrier proteins ready for glucose) Cells respire more glucose Glycogenesis activated |
