Phil is a healthy college student. When he wakes up in the morning, he can't wait to eat breakfast. While he is asleep and before he consumes food or beverages, his pancreas secretes ________ to maintain his blood glucose level within normal limits.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Glucagon

Explanation:

Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps control the glucose levels. This hormone avoids the glucose levels to drop to a dangerous level by making the stored glycogen to turn into glucose in the liver. It also helps glucose to go to the bloodstream instead of being used by the liver to maintain stable levels.
