Is adipose a muscle tissue found in humans?
No. Adipose tissue is not muscle, it is fat.
What hormone removes glucose from the blood and stores it in the liver?
GlucagonINSULIN causes glucose to be removed from the blood stream by having it stored in the form of Glycogen in muscle and liver cellsGLUCAGON causes glycogen to be broken down from liver and muscle tissue and releases glucose into the blood stream, thus increasing circulating blood glucose levels. The hormone, released by the pancreas, is insulin.
The hormone responsible for helping glucose move into cells especially muscle fibers which lowers blood glucose levels when they are too high?
insulin
Name one hormone and state its function?
* Insulin - released by pancreas - encourages liver and muscle cells to absorb glucose from the blood; stimulates the conversion of glucose ----> glycogen in liver/muscle cells.
What is the hormone of emergency causing rapid breakdow of liveee and raising blood glucose for muscle contraction?
Adrenaline.
Where is glucose stored in the body?
In the human body, glucose is stored in the cells. The function of the stored glucose is the secondary energy storage. The primary energy is stored in the adipose tissue.
What stimulates muscle growth and increases cell reproduction?
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) which is a protein hormone which stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans.
How do the human body is glucose stored?
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. It is stored in the liver and in muscle tissue until it is needed, then the hormone glucagon - 'turns-the-sugar-on'- and releases the glycogen as glucose into the bloodstream.
What is the pancreatic hormone called?
The pancreas essentially produces two hormones for blood glucose control. These are glucagon in response to low blood glucose levels and insulin in response to high blood glucose levels. The pancreas produces glucagon in response to low blood glucose levels. It is a linear polypeptide produced by the acini cells of the islets of langerhans. This hormone allows glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis to take place in the liver first and then muscle tissue. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose which is then released into blood plasma to increase blood glucose levels. This occurs in the liver until glycogen stores in the liver are depleted and muscle glycogen stores are used. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of amino acids to form glucose which is then released into blood plasma to increase blood glucose levels. It also stimulates lypolysis which is the break down of fats. The pancreas produces insulin in response to high blood glucose levels. It is also a polypeptide but is produced by the beta cells of the islets of langerhans. It increases cellular uptake of glucose which is removed from the blood, thus lowering blood glucose levels. This happens in most cells except the brain. It also fosters glycogen storage in the muscle and liver and promotes lipogenesis mainly in adipose tissue and the liver. It has one last effect. That is to stimulate protein synthesis from amino acids entering cells and inhibit protein degradation, effecting growth.
What cell is in the wrist muscle?
The names of the cells present in the wrist areWhite adipose cellsBrown adipose cellsFibrocytes
Is insulin on negative feedback?
Yes Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates glycolysis and increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue; therefore, it maintain homeostasis in the body by decreasing blood sugar level when it is high. It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
What substance stimulate the release of insulin?
GIP Well, Insulin is a hormone that lowers the blood sugar level. Normally, the Hypothalamus (in the brain) sends messages to the Pituitary Gland (also in brain) to release a hormone that tells a gland to release a certain hormone, but that is NOT the case with Insulin (and glucagon). The pancreas can detect blood glucose levels. After eating, when there is a high blood glucose concentration, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps the liever store the glucose as glycogen, which the muscle cells can store and use to build protein. Or the adipose tissue can use glucose to form fat. From these actions, the blood glucose level drops. All in all, no hormone really stimulates the release of Insulin. The pancreas can detect the blood glucose concentration after eating.
