What glands secrete hormones such as insulin?
The beta cells of the Isles of Langerhaans in the pancreas secrete insulin.
Which pancreatic hormone stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells?
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
What hormone produced in inadequate amounts if the person has excessive thirst and high blood glucose levels?
insulin
What organ does insulin affect?

Are there any insulin independent tissues or organs?
Yes, there are insulin-independent tissues or organs in the body. Examples include the brain, liver, and kidney. These organs can uptake and utilize glucose without the presence of insulin. However, insulin is still important for regulating glucose levels in the body and its absence or dysfunction can lead to complications such as diabetes.
What is the function of endrogenous insulin?
Endogenous insulin (that produced within the body) regulates the level of blood sugar.
What food contain insulin?
No food contains insulin. Insulin is an hormone that is produced within the body. Diabetics that need to take insulin for their condition have to take it via injection.
How can insulin be prduced?
Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets, and by the Brockmann body in some teleost fish.Source: Wikipedia.com
What glands and organs are involved in insulin?
the organs involved in insulin are liver and liver muscle and the pancreas
What happen when the body is not producing enough insulin?
When there is not enough insulin produced or when the doorway no longer recognizes the insulin key, glucose stays in the blood rather entering the cells.
