The nurse is teaching a client about the movement of glucose in the body. Arrange the sequence of events that take place when blood glucose levels drop.

1- insulin secretion stops, glucagon is released 2-glycogenesis and glyconeogensis takes place 3-liposyisis, breakdown of fats take place 4- proteolysis, breakdwn of protein takes place ....When blood glucose levels fall, insulin secretion stops and glucagon is released. Glucagon prevents hypoglycemia by triggering the release of glucose from cell storage sites. Glucagon causes the release of glucose from the liver. Glycogen is broken down to glucose in the liver during the process of glycogenolysis; similarly, amino acids are broken down to glucose in the process of gluconeogenesis. When liver glucose is unavailable, lipolysis and proteolysis provide fuel for energy.
