1234567

Concentrations of blood glucose fall.

1234567

Alpha cells in the pancreas become stimulated

1234567

Beta cells in the pancreas are stimulated.

1234567

Insulin levels in blood rise.

1234567

The concentrations of glucose, amino acids and other substances increase in blood as absorbable end products of digestion are moved across the epithelial cells that line the digestive tract.

1234567

Nutrients are consumed in the form of food and/or beverages.

1234567

Glut4 transport proteins are inserted into cell walls of skeletal muscle cells and fat cells ( adipocytes).

Explanation / Answer

1. Nutrients are consumed in the form of food and/or beverages.

2. The concentrations of glucose, amino acids and other substances increase in blood as absorbable end products of digestion are moved across the epithelial cells that line the digestive tract.

3. Beta cells in the pancreas are stimulated.

4. Insulin levels in blood rise.

5. Glut4 transport proteins are inserted into cell walls of skeletal muscle cells and fat cells ( adipocytes).

6. Concentrations of blood glucose fall.

7. Alpha cells in the pancreas become stimulated.

Immediately after food intake glucose levels rise and beta cells of pancreas release insulin. The insulin transports glucose into adipose cells, skeletal muscle cells and liver cells to build up glycogen. This results in fall in blood glucose levels and alpha cells of pancreas stimulate the release of glucagon.
