Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pancreas has key roles in maintaining normal blood glucose levels by producing and releasing insulin and glucagon.

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver acts as the body’s glucose (or fuel) reservoir, and helps to keep your circulating blood sugar levels and other body fuels steady and constant. The liver both stores and manufactures glucose depending upon the body’s need.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas. The stimulus for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose-it’s as simple as that. Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
