ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon is a hormone that your pancreas makes to help regulate your blood glucose (sugar) levels. Glucagon increases your blood sugar level and prevents it from dropping too low, whereas insulin, another hormone, decreases blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin allows the cells in the muscles, fat and liver to absorb glucose that is in the blood. The glucose serves as energy to these cells, or it can be converted into fat when needed. Insulin also affects other metabolic processes, such as the breakdown of fat or protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin does more than simply lower blood glucose. Insulin is a storage hormone that promotes fat production and prevents fat from being broken down. In the liver, insulin allows for glucose to be made into glycogen. Glycogen is stored glucose that is broken down when the body needs energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucagon works with your liver to turn a type of stored sugar called glycogen into glucose.
