Question

Which of the following tissues is most dependent upon a constant blood supply of glucose?
A)Liver
B)Brain
C)Adipose
D)Skeletal muscle
E)Cardiac muscle

Accepted Answer

Unlike other organs and tissues, the brain is unable to store glycogen and thus relies on a continuous supply of glucose from the bloodstream. Without glucose, brain function can quickly deteriorate, leading to neurological damage or even death.
