Insulin signals muscles to bring glucose transporters to the cell surface for passive glucose uptake.

“insulin is released by the pancreas when glucose levels are sensed so the pancreas sits very high in the um uh GI tract so very early in the absorption of uh glucose as it exits the stomach into the the dadum uh does the endocrine system Vis of the beta cells sense this increase in U in glucose the beta cells release insulin the insulin results in um a signal it goes to the muscle so the insulin hits an insulin receptor the insulin receptor triggers a kinas in a cell and that brings a glucose transporter to the surface of a muscle cell so that passively right without a gradient glucose can flow from outside the cell to inside the cell”
