In the case of blood glucose regulation the receptor cells are located in the pancreas. These cells are called alpha and beta cells. As food is ingested and glucose levels in the blood rise. This is the input stage. The increase in glucose levels is detected by the beta cells through a change in the ADP/ATP ratio in the cytoplasm. This is the receptor stage. When the excess glucose is sensed by beta cells in the pancreas chemical reactions will occur within the cell‚ which eventually results in the
