which of the body organs functions as modulator and effector, respectively in the homeostatic control of blood sugar level in the human body?
a. hypothalamus and liver
b. hypothalamus and islets of langerhans
c. islets of langerhans and hypothalamus
d. liver and islets of langerhans.
The correct option is D.
The organ that functions as an effector in the uptake of glucose or is involved in the homeostatic control of blood sugar level in the human body is liver. Along with this, pancreas cells known as islets of langerhans control blood glucose level. Liver controls the sugar metabolism by storing excess glucose in the form of glycogen. When there is a deficiency of glucose, this stored glycogen breaks down into glucose to meet the energy needs.
