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 cells in the pancreas play a role in diabetes?
Insulin...When the blood-sugar level in your body is too high, your pancreas produces more insulin which then allows the glucose to be absorbed by body cells. The glucose level will then reduce. When the Blood-sugar level is too low, your pancreas does not release insulin, which mean that less glucose is absorbed in body cells. The glucose level in the blood is therefore increased.
What organs are damaged if the glucose level in the blood gets too high?
lungs
When we eat our blood glucose level is high or low?
When you eat glucose of your diet intakes from food in intestine. Then this glucose go to liner with portal vein. Then some of this glucose absorbed with liver but most of that go through the vessels . So when we eat our blood glucose is high then balance with pancreas hormones
What signals the liver to store or release glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone created by the pancreas that signals the liver to release glucose when the blood sugar level is dangerously low by converting glycogen (glucose converted for long term "storage") into glucose in the process known as glycogenolysis. Insulin is the hormone created by the pancreas that tells the liver to convert excess glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar level is high in the process known as glycogenesis.
If blood glucose levels are to high what hormone will this organ secrete?
pancreas
