How does insulin facilitate glucose uptake by target cells

Can you elaborate on the mechanisms underlying the regulation of blood glucose levels in the body, particularly the roles of insulin and glucagon? How does insulin facilitate glucose uptake by target cells and promote glycogen synthesis in the liver and muscles, lowering blood glucose levels? Conversely, how does glucagon stimulate glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis in response to low blood glucose levels, thereby raising blood glucose concentrations?
