insulin and glucagon are examples of what type of substance
Which organ in human body produces insulin?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes along with the enzymes insulin and glucagon.
Which hormone antagonizes glucagon?
This is the hormone glucogon. The two work together to maintain homeostatis of blood glucose.
What chemical does the pancreas release?
The pancreatic beta islets produce insulin. Alfa cells produce glucagon. Insulin and glucogon produce a homeostatic method to produce normal blood glucose levels.
What 2 sets of hormones have opposing actions?
Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones, secreted by pancreas and oppose the action of one another.
When the pancreas detects a high concentration of sugar in the blood it releases?
glucagon.
Which hormone acts antagonistically to insulin produced by the same endocrine organ?
That is the hormone glucogon. It increases the sugar level
What does pancreas secrete when blood glucose falls?
Pancreas detects blood glucose level by its cells called "Islets of Langerhans." When the blood glucose level is too high, it releases insulin. When it becomes too low, the pancreas then releases glucagon to elevate a low blood glucose.
What main hormone does the pancreas produce?
Insulin, glucagon, somastotatin and there might be a one called pancreatic polypeptide, im not sure. but im 100percent sure of the first three! :) Glucagon and Insulin
Which two hormones exerts opposite effects?
Insulin and glucagon. Insulin stores simple sugars in the form of a polymer (glycogen) in the liver and glucagon breaks down glycogen in the liver forming glucose and releases it back into the bloodstream. ChaCha!

What is the name of the organ containing the glands that secrete insulin and glucagon?
Beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin.
What 2 secretions does it produce the pancreas?
Insulin and pancreatic juice Insulin is used to control blood sugar levels while pancreatic juice is a mixture of enzymes and buffers that helps digestion.
Purpose of the pancreas?
It is a secretory organ. It primarily produces digestive enzymes and hormones involved in metabolism, chiefly insulin and glucagon.
What organ is stimulated by insulin?
The insulin and glucagon are secrete by the pancreas. Glucagon mainly acts upon the liver. Insulin acts in general upon all cells. Both also act upon the adipose tissue respectively stimulating (glucagon) and inhibiting (insulin) the use of fatty acids in the energetic metabolism (an alternate path of the energetic metabolism is activated when there is shortage of glucose).
