Answer to Question 1

5

Answer to Question 2

When the pancreas detects a high concentration of the blood's sugar, glucose, it releases insulin, a hormone. Insulin stimulates muscle and other cells to remove glucose from the blood and to store it. The liver also stores glucose. When the blood glucose level falls, the pancreas secretes another hormone, glucagon, to which the liver responds by releasing into the blood some of the glucose it stored earlier. Thus, a normal blood glucose level is maintained.
