The pancreas secretes glucagon to promote glycogenolysis. Glucagon is released when blood glucose levels are low, signaling the body to release stored glucose. It acts primarily on the liver, where it activates enzymes involved in glycogen breakdown, such as glycogen phosphorylase. This process increases glucose availability to the bloodstream, helping to restore blood glucose levels.
