What hormone does the pancreas release when it detects high blood sugar?

After the ingestion of carbohydrates the blood sugar will rise. The elevation of the blood sugar will signal the pancreas to secrete insulin. Insulin is the hormone which lowers blood sugar by signaling the cells to increase their uptake of glucose.Important to know is that insulin is not only secreted due to elevation of blood sugar levels but also in very small amounts from ingestion of fatty acids and in larger amounts from ingestion of proteins, the amount depends on which amino acids and the amount of them that the protein is built up by.

What is the hormone that signals the release of glucose out of storage?
When blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon, which signals the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream.
When blood glucose levels rise your pancreas releases a hormone called?
Insulin is a peptide hormone released by the pancreas when glucose levels in the blood rise.
What does glucose produce?
Glucose is a kind of sugar that your body needs and categorizes as "food". Glucose is what makes up your blood sugar level. If your blood sugar is too low, your pancreas detects this and releases the hormone insulin. This hormone travels aroudnt the body to get to the liver. The liver detects the insulin and takes glucose out of your blood and stores it as glycogen. Glycogen is essentially glucose in strings which the Liver stores for later use when the body is in need of glucose. This happens when the body detects the presence of Glycogon. Whenever your blood has too low sugar levels the pancreas releases a hormone called glycogon which then travels to the target organ, the Liver. The Liver, then detects the presence of the hormone glycogon, and uses up its reserves (glucose). The glucose is now sent out into your bloodstream which stabilises your sugar levels.

When blood sugar is high the pancreas produces what hormone?
Insulin
What organ secrets a hormone when the blood sugar rises?
pancreas
What does high blood levels of glucose stimulates the release of?
Typically, high blood glucose levels would stimulate the release of a hormone called insulin. In type 1 diabetes mellitus, however, the pancreas isn't able to produce this hormone
When the pancreas detects a high concentration of sugar in the blood it releases?
glucagon.
What hormone does the pancreas release in response to high concentration of blood sugar?
That would be the peptide hormone called "Glucagon". (GLOO-kuh-gone)
How does the feedback control system for insulin production work?
The control of blood glucose levels operates by what is known as a negative feedback mechanism. Here is a summary of the 2 control loops.When the blood glucose level goes upBlood sugar (glucose) rises;The pancreas detects the rise;The pancreas pumps out insulin into the blood;Insulin helps the uptake of glucose into muscles and other cells;This causes the blood glucose level to fall to its normal set point; andThe pancreas detects the fall and switches off insulin production.When the blood glucose level goes downBlood sugar (glucose) drops;The pancreas detects the drop in blood sugar;The pancreas switches on the output of glucagon into the blood;Glucagon signals the liver to break down glycogen into glucose;The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream;Blood glucose goes up to its normal set point; andThe pancreas detects the rise in blood sugar and switches off glucagon release.
What is a hormone secreted by the pancreas which lowers the level of blood?
Insulin
