GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin helps blood sugar enter the body’s cells so it can be used for energy. Insulin also signals the liver to store blood sugar for later use. Blood sugar enters cells, and levels in the bloodstream decrease, signaling insulin to decrease too.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main actions that insulin has are to allow glucose to enter cells to be used as energy and to maintain the amount of glucose found in the bloodstream within normal levels. The release of insulin is tightly regulated in healthy people in order to balance food intake and the metabolic needs of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin is the “key” that unlocks the door. “Insulin” is a substance produced naturally inside the body by an organ called the “pancreas.” Insulin is needed to help move blood glucose from the blood into other parts of the body where it is used for energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Insulin regulates glucose levels in the bloodstream and induces glucose storage in the liver, muscles, and adipose tissue, resulting in overall weight gain.

Detailed explanation-5: -Think of insulin as the “key” that opens the “doors” of the cells in your body. Once insulin opens your cell doors, glucose can leave your bloodstream and move into your cells where you use it for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can’t get into your cells and instead builds up in your blood (hyperglycemia).
