When the blood sugar is very high in the body, the pancreas makes a hormone called 'insulin' this hormone tells the liver to take the excess glucose out of the blood. The glucose is stored as glycogen, a type of sugar, in the liver. The glucose in the blood falls to its correct level.
Also when we excercise, the muscles in our body use up a lot of glucose. If blood glucose falls, the pancrease makes another hormone 'glucagon'. This tells the liver to convert some glycogen into glucose and put it back into the blood. Glucose in the blood rises to its correct level.

∙ 11y agoNo, insulin (secreted by the pancreas) and glucagon (also secreted by the pancreas) regulate blood sugar levels through a process called negative feedback. Basically when the blood sugar levels are too high, insulin is secreted and absorbs excess glucose in the blood stream. Glucagon is secreted when the blood sugar levels are too low and releases glucose into the blood stream. The two hormones work together to maintain homeostasis within the body. Hope this helps

∙ 11y agoThe liver is like a storage facility for sugar. It picks up excess sugar from the blood, turns it into a stable form called glycogen and then releases it when needed.
The pancreas is the organ responsible for the two hormones that regulate the blood sugar levels, insulin and glucagon.
Insulin is released when the glucose level increases. It signals all the cells that the sugar level is higher than normal. Then the cells get the glucose from the blood and uses it as fuel, thus lowering the glucose level.
Glucagon
is released when the glucose level decreases. It signals the liver to convert the glycogen into glucose, thus increasing the glucose level in the blood.

What hormone is involved in blood glucose regulation?
There are two hormones that regulate blood glucose levels. One is insulin. This horemone "carries" glucose into the cell. No glucose and the cell starves and the glucose levels get higher in the blood. The second hormone takes glucose out of liver storage and increases the glucose in the blood. These two are a feedback mechanism that keeps the levels in a normal range.
Name the two main organs that are involved in blood sugar levels?
The two main organs involved in blood sugar regulation are the pancreas and the liver. The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon, hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, while the liver stores excess glucose and releases it as needed to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Does the liver Maintains glucose levels in the blood?

When blood glucose levels are low liver cells convert more glucose to glycogen?
The other way around. When blood glucose levels are low, the liver converts stored sugar, glycogen, into blood sugar, glucose. You can remember it this way: glyco-GEN GEN-nerates glucose.
What hormone causes liver cells to release glucose?
The hormone glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when glucose levels are low.
What is the molecule formed in the liver?
Glucose is formed in the liverb from the stored form of carbohydrate i.e glycogen <when glucogon> is released by pancreas.This helps to regulate your sugar levels in the blood.
Why is monitoring blood glucose levels more accurate that monitoring glucose levels in the urine?
The liver and pancreas release glucose right into the blood, therefore you will get a more accurate amount if you test your blood.
What organ releases glucose to help maintain normal blood glucose levels in between meals?
Liver
What' gland controls blood glucose levels?
Pancreas
What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?
After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy. To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels. Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose. Not sure about amino acids :P
The liver secretes what into the body?
the liver produces bile which is then stored in the gallbladder and the liver also releases glucose into the blood when the levels are low
Which organ synthesizes clotting factors stores vitamins detoxifies drugs and helps regulate blood glucose?
The liver
