| Front | How does insulin work? |
|---|---|
| Back | - decrease in blood glucose concentration detected by β cell receptors - β cells secrete insulin - receptor activates enzymes - enzymes activate protein carrier vesicle causing it to fuse with membrane - increase in the number of glucose carrier proteins in cell membrane - increase in permeability to glucose - more facilitated diffusion of glucose into the cell - enzymes activated to convert glucose into glycogen by glycogenesis, maintaing larger concentration gradient for facilitated diffusion of glucose - decrease in blood glucose concentration |
