How does the body respond to a increase in the blood sugar concentration?
The pancreas, it releases insulin.
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.
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.
Which organ monitors blood sugar concentration?
The pancreas administers and monitors blood sugar concentration.
Which is an endocrine function apex?
The pineal glands releases melatonin 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.
How does pancreas know to give off insulin?
When it detects the sugar in your blood. The sugar has to pass through your pancreas and it lets insulin out depending on how much sugar there is.
What chemical is responsible for the decrease in blood glucose concentration is released by?
Pancreas
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.

How does the pancreas help the digestion system?
The pancreas produces certain enzymes and hormones, including insulin, that break down food. The pancreas releases these fluids directly into the blood and the ducts of the body.
Which is an endocrine function?
The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream
Why do serum amylase levels rise in acute pancreatitis?
When the pancreas is damaged or diseased, it releases amylase into the blood.
