Does the liver secrete a hormone that regulates metabolism?
No. Your liver does not secretes any such hormone. Your thyroid does.
What organ has the highest concentration of catylase?
Liver and Kidney
What are the cells that make up the liver?
there are penitential cells in the liver, -narb
What is the hormone from the pancreas which functions in opposition to insulin known as?
The hormone from the pancreas which functions in opposition to insulin is glucagon. It raises blood sugar levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in the liver.
Is the liver composed of the body cells?
no. a kidney is not composed of body cells. but liver, sperm, and a single bone are composed of body cells. :)
Does liver produces insulin?
No, it is the beta cells of the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin, involved in glucose uptake by cells.
What hormone causes liver cells to release glucose?
The hormone glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when glucose levels are low.
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.
Does the liver secrete a hormone that regulates metabolism?
No. Your liver does not secretes any such hormone. Your thyroid does.
Give an example of how homeostasis is maintained?
An example of homeostasis is regulating blood glucose concentration. The body does this as follows: If there is enough glucose in the blood, the hormone insulin (from the pancreas) stimulates the liver to store the extra (not needed at the time) glucose as glycogen. If the blood sugar gets low, another hormone stimulates the liver to release the glucose back into the blood. If the storage in the liver is full, glucose is converted into fat in special cells around the body.
What does the liver do to the hormone?
Liver inactivate the hormones.Smooth ER is involved.
What hormone is released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?
Glucagon is the hormone released by the kidneys when blood sugar levels fall too low. This hormone forces the liver to break down glycogen into glucose needed by the cells.
What chemical enzyme breaks down what nutrient in the liver?
I believe you're referring to the hormone glucagon produced by the alpha cells in the pancreas which causes the liver to break down glycogen. There are no nutrients stored in the liver, the liver stores bile as well as lipase, neither of which are considered "nutrients"
What organ does not have hormone production from the following skin liver kidney heart?
liver
What are target cells for releasing hormones in?
in the hypothalamus is what my book says:) .............from what I have read the releasing hormones originate in the hypothalamus, but the target cells are found in the anterior pituitary gland.
How does the hormone regulates blood glucose levels?
The hormone that regulates blood glucose levels is insulin plus a second hormone, glucagon. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels and glucagon increases blood glucose levels. Insulin actually carries the glucose molecule across the cell membrane. That is how it actually lowers the glucose molecules in the blood. Glucagon causes the liver, which stores glycogen, to convert it to glucose which is released in the blood. These two hormones form a feedback mechanism which keeps glucose stable.
What organ has the highest concentration of catylase?
Liver and Kidney
