Modeling the Glucose Regulatory Pathway


To demonstrate your understanding of glucose regulation in the human body, you and your group will create a model using whiteboards (or poster paper, if available) and cut outs of the following molecules and organs: 

Glucose

Glucose Transporters

Glucagon

Glucagon Receptors

Insulin 

Insulin Receptors

Glycogen

Liver

Pancreas

Muscles 

Cutouts for the molecules can be found here and the organs here.

Your model should show how all of these molecules move throughout the bloodstream and can cause an action inside cells.  You may wish to include other tissues/organs/systems in your model that are not listed above. 


Questions
