The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose into most of the body's cells. Insulin secretion is controlled by a negative- feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood (stimulus) and the cells that secrete insulin (response). Which of the following statements is correct? O A decrease in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn increase the blood glucose concentration. O An increase in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn increase the blood glucose concentration still further. O A decrease in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn lower the blood glucose concentration still further. O An increase in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn lower the blood glucose concentration.

**Question 15**

The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose into most of the body's cells. Insulin secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood (stimulus) and the cells that secrete insulin (response). Which of the following statements is correct?

- ⃝ A decrease in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn increase the blood glucose concentration.
- ⃝ An increase in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn increase the blood glucose concentration still further.
- ⃝ A decrease in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn lower the blood glucose concentration still further.
- ⃝ An increase in blood glucose concentration will stimulate insulin secretion, which will in turn lower the blood glucose concentration.

This question tests your understanding of the regulatory mechanism controlling insulin secretion and its impact on blood glucose concentration.
