Question: The hormone insulin regulates glucose concentration in the blood through metabolic changes. Finish the flowchart below by moving the labels to the correct targets. Note that one of the targets should have three answers. Not all the labels will be used.
Flowchart:
Blood ----> Increased Glucose Concentration ------> (Fill in Blank) ------> Insulin Released -----> Muscle and Other Tissues (three metabolic effects) ------> (Fillin blank with 3 of the choices) -------> Adipocytes ------> (Fillin Blank)
Choices:
1. Increased glucose uptake
2. increased glycogen synthesis
3. decreased glucose uptake
4. pancreatic alpha cells
5. increased triacylglycerol synthesis
