Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon and insulin are both important hormones that play essential roles in regulating your blood glucose (sugar). Both hormones come from your pancreas-alpha cells in your pancreas make and release glucagon, and beta cells in your pancreas make and release insulin.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main hormones secreted by the endocrine gland in the pancreas are insulin and glucagon, which regulate the level of glucose in the blood, and somatostatin, which prevents the release of insulin and glucagon.
Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin and glucagon are hormones secreted by islet cells within the pancreas. They are both secreted in response to blood sugar levels, but in opposite fashion. Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pancreas. The pancreas is located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The pancreas plays a role in digestion, as well as hormone production. Hormones produced by the pancreas include insulin and glucagon, which regulate levels of blood sugar.
Detailed explanation-5: -They are insulin and glucagon. Functions: Insulin: It helps in lowering the sugar levels in the blood by converting glucose into glycogen for storage. Glucagon: It helps in increasing the sugar level in the blood by converting stored glycogen into glucose.
