HOMEOSTASIS

Homeostasis is an internal environment that is regulated in order to remain in a stable and constant state.
To be able to maintain homeostasis, the homeostatic control system shows how communication within the body is important in homeostasis, there are four main components to this system: the stimulus (change), the receptor (detects the change), the control centre (receives the information) and the effector ( produces the response).
The stimulus in this case would be the change in blood glucose levels, the receptor would be the pancreas with the Alpha and beta cells detecting the change in glucose levels, the control centre would be the pancreas because this is where all of this is happening, and finally the effector would be the change in the
Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the pancreas by the beta cells ensure and helps move sugar or glucose around the body.
Hormone is a substance produced in the body which helps control and regulate certain cells
If there was a rise in the blood glucose levels specific cell the pancreas called beta cells, The base of cells detect the rise in the glucose levels and they respond by releasing the hormone insulin, The insulin is released to balance out the high levels of glucose, In order for The high blood glucose levels

Decrease in blood glucose

If there was a fall in the blood glucose levels, this is opposite to high blood glucose levels the pancreas responds by the Alpha sells instead of releasing insulin like the beta cells, the Alpha cells detect that there is a decrease in the blood glucose levels which the cells will release glucose because not enough insulin is produced.
Glucagon is one of the to hormones that are formed in the
