The human body uses checks and balances to maintain homeostasis. When the body is in the postprandial state, a slight fall in blood glucose stimulates the pancreas to release what?
A) Glucose B) Amylase C) Bile D) Glucagon
D
Feedback:
In the postprandial state, as the body uses the energy from the last meal, the blood glucose concentration begins to drop. Even a slight fall in blood glucose stimulates the pancreas to release glucagon, which causes the liver to release glucose from its supply of glycogen. The result is that blood glucose levels increase to normal. The pancreas does not release glucose or bile. The pancreas does release amylase but not in response to a fall in serum glucose levels.
