draw the action of glucose on insulin secretion diagram (there are 7 steps/actions)
1- Glucose high outside cell + enters cell
2- glycolysis! (pyruvate)
3- oxidative phosphorylation (ATP is formed)
4- ATP acts as ligand and binds to K+ channels to block K+ from leaving
5- depolarization occurs
6- depolarization causes Ca voltage gated channels to open + Ca enters
7- entering of Ca results in insulin release via exocytosis
