GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -After meals, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver.

Detailed explanation-2: -After a meal, glucose enters the liver and levels of blood glucose rise. This excess glucose is dealt with by glycogenesis in which the liver converts glucose into glycogen for storage. The glucose that is not stored is used to produce energy by a process called glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver both stores and manufactures glucose depending upon the body’s need. The need to store or release glucose is primarily signaled by the hormones insulin and glucagon. During a meal, your liver will store sugar, or glucose, as glycogen for a later time when your body needs it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Livers stores excess of glucose in the form of glycogen. The excess glucose is converted into glycogen in the liver by the process of glycogenesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Excess glucose gets stored in the liver as glycogen or, with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.
