What gland controls blood sugar levels?
pancreatic islets
How do you keep blood glucose levels stable?
pituitary gland
Regulate the blood glucose levels produced by the same mixed gland?
pancrease
What gland is located behind the stomach and controls sugar levels in the blood?
Pancreas
What organ regulates blood sugar level in the body?
Insulin controls glucose levels in the blood. Those having diabetes or suppose to become diabetic, their insulin secretion is erratic and are to take insulin injection to stable the glucose level in the blood.
Which gland is damaged in diabetes?
The pancreas, it can't supply the body with insulin to maintain blood glucose levels.
What gland controls the bodys use of glucose?
endocrine part of pancreas controls body use of glucose.that is islets of Langerhans controls this.this release a very important harmones called insulin and glucogan.insulin a polypeptide harmone ,.contains units of aminoacids.it controls carbohydrate metabolism,lipid and protein matebolism.it is secreated by alpha cells.converts glucose to glycogen,this insulin is very important for cells to uptake of glucose.this act as a key to open doors of cell to uptake glucose.this is done only in presence of insulin.if insulin is absent cells wont take glucose although they are surrounded by glucose.this insulin helps in uptake adn utilisation of glucose,glycolysis,glycogenolysis is inhibited by it.gluoneogenesis is also inhibited by it.insulin always tries to decrease blood glucose levels that are present outside the cell.insulin inhibits lipolysis also,in the abscence of insulin their levels increase atherosclerosis that is deposition of lipids in walls of bloodvessels and heart problems.insulin also a anabolic harmone.stimulates protein synthesis.GLUCAGON;these are also secreated by alpha cells .function is to increase blood glucose levels .it converts glycogen to glucose.glucogenolysis is stimulated.gluconeogenesis is also stimulated.glycolysis is inhibited.glucogenesis is stimulated.it favours lipolysis,inhibits synthesis of proteins.thus the body uptake of glucose is controlled by insulin and glucogon secreated by pancreas islets of langerhans,
What gland links the nervous system and the endocrine system controls many of the pituitary gland functions and controls the body's water levels?
V
Which endocrine gland link the the endocrine system and the nervous system?
The hypothalamus is the endocrine gland that links the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls many of the pituitary hormone levels and also controls body water levels. The hypothalamus is located in the brain.the thyriod gland
What are the glands that affect metabolism?
First we have the thyroid gland; this gland helps regulates body metabolism or the rate of which glucose is oxidized. Next is the parathyroid gland, which helps regulate calcium levels in the blood and lower phosphate levels. And there is the the growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. The hormone influences the growth of long bones and accelerate protein synthesis.
How does glucoregulation work?
Glucoregulation is the regulation of glucose levels in the blood as the name suggests. The normal glucose levels are 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L, that is before you have eaten anything. After you eat your glucose levels in the blood obviously rise so they need to be brought back down to normal. There are glucoreceptors in the hypothalamus in the brain which detect that change in glucose levels. This then causes the pituitary gland (also next to the brain) to release hormones which make the pancreas produce insulin and release it into the blood. Insulin just triggers tissues and cells to absorb the glucose from the blood. The glucose is then stored in fat cells as glycogen (which we all call fat). Or it is used to make energy. On the other hand if glucose levels fall too low the pancreas produces more glucagon and less insulin. Glucagon makes the tissues and fat cells release glucose into blood to raise blood sugar levels, basically the opposite of insulin.
Which gland relates to the structure of calcium in blood?
The thyroid gland produces calcitonin which lowers blood calcium levels and the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone which increases blood calcium levels.
