Solution
-
The gland that produces and secretes insulin is the Pancreas.
-
Glucagon is the hormone that stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose.
-
In the homeostatic control of blood sugar levels, insulin stimulates the movement of glucose from the blood into the cells and the conversion of glucose to glycogen.
-
Type II diabetes is described as cells no longer responding to insulin, and the treatment is a low sugar diet and exercise.
