         <description><![CDATA[<p>The blood glucose level changes above/below normal level. The Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas detects the change in blood glucose level and initiates the corrective mechanism. In the case of an increase in blood glucose level, the Islets of Langerhans secretes more insulin into the bloodstream to be transported to the liver and muscles. Insulin causes the liver and muscles to convert excess glucose to glycogen. Blood glucose concentration decreases to normal. This provides a feedback to the receptor to reduce insulin production.</p><p>In the case of a decrease in blood glucose level, the Islets of Langerhans secretes more glucagon into the bloodstream to be transported to the liver and muscles. Glucagon causes the conversion of glycogen, fats and amino acids into glucose. Blood glucose concentration increases to normal. This provides a feedback to the receptor to reduce glucagon production.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>When blood glucose concentration rises above normal levels, the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are stimulated to secrete more insulin into the bloodstream. The blood transports insulin to the liver and muscles. Insulin increases the permeability of cell membranes to glucose so that it is absorbed more quickly by the cells. It also raises the rate of respiration and stimulates the liver and muscles to convert excess glucose into glycogen, which is stored. As a result, blood glucose concentration decreases, providing negative feedback to reduce insulin secretion.</p><p>When blood glucose concentration falls below normal levels, the islets of Langerhans are stimulated to release more glucagon into the bloodstream. The blood carries glucagon to the liver and muscles, where it triggers the conversion of stored glycogen back into glucose. The glucose enters the bloodstream, raising blood glucose concentration. This rise provides negative feedback to the pancreas, reducing glucagon production and helping maintain blood glucose within normal limits.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>type 2 diabetes,</p><p>his liver will reject insulin that is being produced by the islets of Langerhans and this will cause a persistanly high blood glucose level, there will be a presence of glucose in urea and when he gets cut his boo-boo will not heal fast.</p>]]></description>
