New cards
72

Insulin

Pancreas; decreases sugar levels in blood by accelerating glucose transport into cells and breaking glucose into glycogen

New cards
73

Glucagon

Pancreas; increases blood sugar by causing the liver to release more glucose in the bloodstream. (Opposite of insulin)

New cards
74

Diabetes is…

The reduced insulin production or reduced insulin effectiveness

New cards
75
