Regulating blood glucose levels is important. When the concentration of glucose in the blood is too high, it can cause damage. When the concentration is too low, it starves the body of energy. The concentration of blood glucose is regulated according to the diagram above. This homeostatic system can be disrupted by a number of different disorders. For each statement, select TRUE if it is consistent, or FALSE if it is not consistent with the information presented in this diagram and in reference to the three hypothetical disorders provided in the table above.       Disorder 1 would result in blood glucose concentrations that are too low (hypoglycemia).   Question 2 options:   True   False               After fasting (not eating) for two days, an individual with disorder 3 would have blood glucose concentrations that are too high.    Question 3 options:   True   False     The main effector that helps restore blood glucose concentration to the set-point is in the pancreas.    Question 4 options:   True   False
