ENDOCRINE ORGANS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hormones produced by the pancreas affect the body’s use of ____
A
sodium
B
calcium
C
potassium
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each of the hormones has distinct functions. 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: -While glucagon keeps blood glucose from dropping too low, insulin is produced to keep blood glucose from rising too high. The two hormones counterbalance each other to stabilize blood glucose. When blood glucose levels fall too low (low blood glucose), the pancreas pumps out more glucagon.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -When a person’s blood sugar is too high, their pancreas secretes more insulin. When their blood sugar levels drop, their pancreas releases glucagon to raise them. This balance helps provide sufficient energy to the cells while preventing damage that can result from consistently high blood sugar levels.
