Feedback loop in glucose

Feedback loops typically include a sensor, control sensor, and an effector which executes the change in the body to return back to homeostasis

How normal feedback loop for blood glucose goes:

1. we eat sugar, blood glucose rises

2. Sensor; pancreatic beta cells sense this and release vesicle stored insulin

3. control center; pancreatic beta cells (still) - insulin travels to bloodstream to fat and skeletal muscle

4. effector: fat and skeletal muscle - stores glucose. has insulin receptors which bind to insulin when it arrives. GLUT 4 (glucose transporters) are signaled to enter plasma membrane to bring glucose via facilitated diffusion back into the cell

5. result: blood glucose levels fall back down
