Understanding Homeostasis: Control of Blood Glucose Concentration

The video explains the importance of glucose for cellular respiration and how the body regulates blood glucose levels. It highlights the role of the pancreas in monitoring and controlling glucose through the release of insulin, which helps cells absorb glucose and store excess as glycogen. This regulation prevents harmful spikes and dips in glucose levels, maintaining homeostasis. The video concludes with a recap of these processes.

How do liver and muscle cells respond to excess glucose?

What are the consequences of having blood glucose levels that are too high or too low?

What is homeostasis and how does it relate to blood glucose concentration?
