Cindy had been celebrating after she got a job promotion. After she ate few pieces of cake, her blood glucose levels rise, GPCR receptors become activated and comminucate this increase to the brain. It triggers the secretion of insulin from \( \beta \) cell in the pancreas. Insulin acts as a signal that triggers cells of the body, such as fat and muscle cells, to take up glucose for use as fuel. Insulin also causes glucose to be converted into glycogen - a storage molecule - in the liver. Both processes pull sugar out of the blood, bringing blood sugar levels down, reducing insulin secretion, and returning cindy's body to its set point. IDENTIFY: the stimulus, control center, effector, \& receptor. 11.
