Question
What happens when beta cells of the pancreas release insulin into the blood? 
Options:
A .  Blood glucose levels rise to a set point and stimulate glucagon release. 
B .   Body cells take up more glucose. 
C .  The liver breaks down glycogen to glucose. 
D .  Alpha cells are stimulated to release glucose into the blood.   
Answer: Option B
:
B
When a person eats carbohydrates, the blood glucose concentration rises. This stimulates the secretion of insulin by β cells and inhibits the secretion of glucagon by the α cells. Insulin promotes the cellular uptake of glucose into liver and muscle cells, where it is stored as glycogen, and into adipose cells, where it is stored as fat.
