This organ produces 2 hormones INSULIN and GLUCAGON BLOOD LEVELSTOO TOO HIGH BLOODGLUCOSE GLUCOSE LEVELS HIGH Blood glucose levels HIGH Blood Glucose moves from the blood into the cells Cells Pancreas releases INSULIN OUTCOME = blood glucose lowered (back to normal) BLOODGLUCOSE GLUCOSE LEVELS BLOOD LEVELSTOO TOOLOW LOW Blood glucose levels LOW Blood Glycogen converted back into glucose and released into the blood Pancreas releases GLUCAGON OUTCOME = blood glucose level raised (back to normal) TYPE 1 DIABETES Using Longman Biology pages 216-217 answer the following. 1.
