Question

Part E Module 16.5 The Endocrine Pancreas Felix's blood glucose level is consistently low, which is a risk factor for falling. Medications that reduce the blood glucose level, such as insulin products, commonly cause hypoglycemia. Felix has never been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, nor has he taken an medications that cause hypoglycemia. There are tumors called insulinomas that may be located outside the pancreas that secrete high amounts of insulin. Dr. Young explains thatI thinks this possibility is unlikely, but he will investigate it nonetheless During a recent stay in the hospital, Felix felt very sweaty, confused, and weak. His nurse used a bedside glucometer device to check Felix's blood glucose level which was extreme low. The nurse administered an intravenous dose of both dextrose and glucagon per hospi protocol for hypoglycemia. The glucagon will do all of the following except: otrigger protein catabolism in muscle tissue, which would release amino acids that could be used in gluconeogenesis trigger the release of fats from adipose tissue, which could be used for gluconeogenesis trigger cellular uptake of amino acids and glucose into liver and muscle cells, leading to an increase in the blood glucose level stimulate the breakdown of glycogen into glucose via glycogenolysis, which would increase the blood glucose level Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

trigger cellular uptake of amino acids and glucose into liver and muscle cells, leading to an increase in blood gluose level.

Glucagon does not cause uptake of glucose into liver but results in release of glucose from the liver into the blood stream.
