Detailed explanation-1: -Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucagon’s role in the body is to prevent blood glucose levels dropping too low. To do this, it acts on the liver in several ways: It stimulates the conversion of stored glycogen (stored in the liver) to glucose, which can be released into the bloodstream. This process is called glycogenolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Indeed, muscle glycogen can be broken down to lactate, which can be transported to the liver and via gluconeogenesis in the liver contribute to maintaining euglycemia (Cori cycle).
