Questions about the Blood Glucose Control poster

What’s on the Blood Glucose Control poster?

Glucose high → insulin against Glucose low → glucagon, side by side. Glucose high → insulin: From beta cells in the islets; Glucose high → insulin: Increases uptake into cells; Glucose high → insulin: Promotes glycogenesis in the liver; Glucose high → insulin: Inhibits gluconeogenesis; Glucose high → insulin: Blood glucose falls; Glucose low → glucagon: From alpha cells; Glucose low → glucagon: Promotes glycogenolysis; Glucose low → glucagon: Promotes gluconeogenesis; Glucose low → glucagon: Releases glucose to the blood; Glucose low → glucagon: Blood glucose rises; Type 1 diabetes: beta cells destroyed, no insulin produced. Type 2: cells become insu…. Educational reference. Adrenaline also raises blood glucose, which is why stress can affect diabetic control.

Who is the Blood Glucose Control poster for?

Blood Glucose Control belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning physiology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Blood Glucose Control poster?

Insulin lowers; glucagon raises. Both from the pancreas, from different cells. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Blood Glucose Control belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Blood Glucose Control?

The Cardiac Cycle, The Circulatory System and Digestive Enzymes sit alongside Blood Glucose Control in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.The Cardiac CycleThe Circulatory SystemDigestive Enzymes

Is the Blood Glucose Control poster free to download and print?

Yes. Blood Glucose Control downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Blood Glucose Control poster print at?

Blood Glucose Control is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Blood Glucose Control loses nothing.Printing guide
