SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS DUE TONIGHT!!!! When the human body digests food, hydrolyzed carbohydrates that are produced move from the small intestine into the bloodstream. These hydrolyzed carbohydrate molecules are transported into the liver, where they are converted to glucose. The molecules of glucose are either stored in the form of glycogen or triglycerides or released back into the bloodstream for use by other body cells.

Two hormones regulate the levels of glucose in the blood - insulin and glucagon.

•When blood glucose levels are high (after eating; for example this signals the pancreas to secrete insulin. Insulin binds to receptors on body cells that allow cells to take up glucose from the blood This action decreases blood glucose levels, as glucose leaves the blood and moves into cells

• When blood glucose levels are low after fast; for example), this signals the pancreas to secrete glucagon. Glucagon binds to receptors on liver cells that stimulate these cells to break down glycogen into glucose molecules and release them into the blood This action increases blood levels as glucose moves from its storage location in liver cells into the blood

The graph below shows the changes in blood glucose levels in an individual over the course of day: It also shows the times when insulin and glucagon were secreted into the blood and the times that the individual ate meals​
