Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The amount of glucose in the blood is regulated by the negative feedback mechanism.

When the glucose level in the blood increased beyond the normal level, the pancreas secretes insulin which converts the excess glucose to glycogen. Glycogen is stored in the liver and the muscles.

When a person has not eaten for a while and the glcose level drops beyond normal, glycogen is converted back to glucose and released into the blood by another enzyme produced by the pancreas, glucagon.
