Blood glucose regulation concept map activity answers

To answer and understand the map, you should revise the glucose metabolism and diabetes before. 

I like this exercise because it helps you to have an overall about the glucose and keep a visual memory.

The regulation of blood glucose involves the hormonal system (specifically insulin, glucagon, and adrenaline...), as well as several organs (pancreas, liver, and kidney mainly). This regulation is part of the process of maintaining homeostasis in the body. The absence of the regulation may cause diseases like diabetes.
