done

Explanation:

• Blood glucose levels are regulated by the hormone: Insulin is the key hormone for regulating blood glucose levels. It helps cells take in glucose from the bloodstream.
• The pancreas secretes: Glucagon. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon. Glucagon acts on the liver to break down glycogen (stored glucose) and release glucose into the bloodstream.
• Insulin allows the body’s cells to: Absorb. Insulin binds to receptors on cells (such as muscle, fat, and liver cells), triggering a series of events that allow glucose transporters (like GLUT - 4) to move to the cell membrane and transport glucose from the bloodstream into the cell.
