ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the body doesn’t need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles. This stored form of glucose is made up of many connected glucose molecules and is called glycogen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The human body uses carbohydrates in the form of glucose. Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -When your body doesn’t need glucose right away, it stores it as glycogen in your liver and muscles. Glucagon is a hormone your pancreas makes that triggers glycogen to convert back into glucose and to enter your bloodstream so your body can use it for energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycogen is a ubiquitous fuel source stored in the cytosol of cells, occupying 2% of the volume of cardiac cells, 10 1%–2% of the volume of skeletal muscle cells, and 5%–6% of the volume of liver cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is a main source of energy for the body. Glycogen is stored in the liver. When the body needs more energy, certain proteins called enzymes break down glycogen into glucose.
