1. What is the effect of insulin on muscle tissue?

insulin stimulates the storage of amino acids as proteins, and uptake of glucose and storage as glycogen

2. What can be used in times of starvation?

the body can convert amino acids to glucose

3. What is secreted in by pacreatic islet cells in response to low blood glucose?

glucagon -- stimulates the liver to put more glucose in the blood stream

4. What is the effect of the sympathetic nervous system in times of low blood sug?

The sympathetic nervous system stimulates the adrenal medulla and increases the release of epinephrine, causing the glycogen in liver

5. What is the effect of the anterior pituitary on low blood sugar?

stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol which stimylates the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and reduces the rate of glucose uptake

6. What is the effect of the pituitary on low blood sugar?

releases growth hormone which decreases the rate of glucose uptake in the body

7. What is the effect of insulin on the liver (table)?

increases glycogen formation, decreases the formation of glucose from amino acids and glycogen

8. What is the effect of glucagon on the liver?

decreases glycogen formation, and increases glucose from amino acids and glycogen

9. What is the effect of epinephrine on the liver?

decreases glycogen fromation and increases the amount of glucose converted from glycogen

10. What is the effect of cortisol on the liver?

decrease glycogen formation, increase the formation of glucose from amino acids and glycogen
