Increases and decreases blood sugar level
A
parathyroid
B
pancreas
C
pituitary
D
adrenal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon increases blood glucose levels, whereas insulin decreases them. Somatostatin inhibits both, glucagon and insulin release, 6 whereas PP regulates the exocrine and endocrine secretion activity of the pancreas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin is released from the beta cells in your pancreas in response to rising glucose in your bloodstream. After you eat a meal, any carbohydrates you’ve eaten are broken down into glucose and passed into the bloodstream. The pancreas detects this rise in blood glucose and starts to secrete insulin.

Detailed explanation-3: -When blood glucose levels fall too low (low blood glucose), the pancreas pumps out more glucagon. This hormone helps blood glucose rise back up in multiple ways: It causes the liver to convert stored glucose into a usable form and then release it into the bloodstream. (A process called glycogenolysis.)

Detailed explanation-4: -Research shows that inflammation of the pancreas, also known as pancreatitis, can increase the risk of developing diabetes, a condition characterized by higher-than-normal blood glucose (sugar) levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glucagon is a hormone that your pancreas makes to help regulate your blood glucose (sugar) levels. Glucagon increases your blood sugar level and prevents it from dropping too low, whereas insulin, another hormone, decreases blood sugar levels.
