Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as the main storage form of glucose in the human body. The liver stores glycogen to maintain blood glucose levels, especially during fasting. Muscle glycogen is used to provide energy for muscle contraction during physical activity. The small intestine is mainly involved in digestion and absorption of nutrients, not glycogen storage. Fat cells store fat (triglycerides), not glycogen. Nerve cells do not store significant amounts of glycogen.
