glucagon
Glucagons and insulin
Glucose a monosaccaride otherwise known as sugarused for energyGlycogen is secreted by the pancreas to stimulate an increase in blood sugar levelGlucagon, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, raises blood glucose levels
Epinephrine
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
epinephrine
It stimulate the β2-adrenoceptors. β2-adrenoceptors normally stimulate hepatic glycogen breakdown (glycogenolysis) and pancreatic release of glucagon, which work together to increase plasma glucose.
is it epinephrine?
After a person has skipped a meal, the person's blood glucose level will stay at its normal level as there isn't any glucose absorbed. To maintain this normal blood glucose level, the pancreatic cells will secrete glucagon which stimulates the body to convert stored glycogen into glucose. There won't be any insulin secreted as insulin is only secreted when the blood glucose level increases beyond its normal level (for example, after a meal).
Yes. The pancreas produces another form of amylase called pancreatic amylase that acts on polymers of glucose. This enxyme is secreted inot the duodenum of the small intestine.
Yes
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
