2. Endocrine System
Te;primary;function;of;glucagon;is;to;increase;blood;glucose
level;by;accelerating;the;conversion;of;liver;glycogen;into;glucose.
Glucagon;secretion;is;directly;controlled;by;blood;sugar;level;and
the;process;of;regulating;blood;sugar;is;as;follows:
Endometrium
of uterus
1. Whenbloodsugarlevelfallsbelownormal, chemicalsensors
in;the;alpha;cells;stimulate;them;to;secrete;glucagon.
2. Glucagon is taken up by the blood and travels to target cells
3. Te liver releases glucagon stores and converts the glucagon

4. Glucose is released into the blood and blood sugar level rises.

The level of specificity in the ICD- 10 code set will require more accuracy and understanding
of human anatomy and physiology to code appropriately. Advanced Anatomy and Physiology
for ICD-10-CM/PCS guides you through all body systems associated with ICD- 10 and provides
detailed information on ICD-10-CM and PCS utilization for appropriate diagnosis and
condition identification. Helpful features include:
• Detailed color, full-page anatomy illustrations — learn visually for
improved coding accuracy
• Chapter quizzes — test your knowledge of key topics covered
• Detailed review of each body system — better understand information
on cells, tissues and organs that comprise each body system
• Extensive table of contents — locate important information quickly
