What is the role of glucagon and insulin in this scenario?
His blood glucose was low before he ate the cookies, therefore his pancreas produced glucagon. His blood glucose level was elevated after eating the cookies, therefore insulin was released.The hormone glucagon is secreted by the islets of pancreas to raise blood sugar levels in the body when the pancreas senses hunger and blood glucose levels are falling.
The liver's stored glucose is forced to be released by glucagon, which raises the body's blood glucose level. When Kai consumed the sugar cookies, his blood glucose level was higher than needed and was sufficient for his body. The pancreatic islets then produced insulin to regulate this excess glucose.
