Blood Glucose System
human biology? blood glucose negative feedback?

which system co-ordinates and connects thie process of a negative feedback response model for blood glucose?

please help??

the answer can be simple

First there are glucose sensors in the brain itself and also in the liver and intestines that can sense glucose levels in the blood.

When blood sugar goes too high the brain is informed through these sensors and then sends a message to the pancreas through motor neurons to secrete insulin which subsequently acts to bring sugar down to normal levels.

When blood sugar falls too much the above mechanism causes secretion of glucagon from the pancreas and catecholamines from the adrenal glands which increase sugar to normal levels.

It's also worth noting that the brain can itself directly order the liver, which is the major player in the actual control of blood sugar, to act to reduce or increase blood sugar, as is necessary.
