Insulin secretion is stimulated by blood glucose concentrations?
Yes. Rising glucose levels causes insulin to be secreted.
What effects would the sympathetic and parasympathetic system have on insulin secretion?
Studies seems to indicate that the sympathetic system decreases insulin secretion, while the parasympathetic system increases insulin secretion.
What does somastotatin do?
Somatostatin: inhibits insulin & glucagon secretion by the pancreas. Inhibits TSH, GH, and ACTH secretion by adenohypophysis.
Insulin is secreted by cells present in pancreas?
Yes, insulin is secreted by the pancreas. This secretion is part of the endocrine function of the pancreas.
What is an example of negative feedback?
An example of negative feedback would be a secretion of greater amount of insulin to lower the blood sugar level, and then secretion of greater amount of glucagon to increase the blood sugar level, and then a secretion of a greater amount of insulin to lower the blood sugar level..... etc.
What is the medical term meaning Excessive secretion of insulin?
There is a tumor that causes excessive insulin production called an insulinoma. Due to the increased insulin production it causes hypoglycemia. The medical term I found is Hyperinsulinism.
Insulin secretion is stimulated by blood glucose concentrations?
Yes. Rising glucose levels causes insulin to be secreted.
Why is the secretion of insulin reduced in times of stress?
The hyperglycemia caused by stress would lead to an increased secretion of insulin, which would than lower blood glucose. As a consequence, the blood glucose would not be sustained to deal with continued stress.
What causes increased gh secretion?
excess cell growth and division
What effects would the sympathetic and parasympathetic system have on insulin secretion?
Studies seems to indicate that the sympathetic system decreases insulin secretion, while the parasympathetic system increases insulin secretion.
What type of secretion is insulin?
Insulin is an endocrine hormone secreted by the pancreas. You could call it endocrine or pancreatic secretion.
What is too much secretion of insulin called?
Hyperinsulinism
What disease associated with insufficient insulin secretion?
Diebetics
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to respond to secretion of insulin?
insulin resistance
Which system is responsible for the secretion of insulin and adrenaline?
Endocrine system
What does somastotatin do?
Somatostatin: inhibits insulin & glucagon secretion by the pancreas. Inhibits TSH, GH, and ACTH secretion by adenohypophysis.
Why growth hormone deficiency causes hYpoglycemia?
Growth hormone and insulin are both needed to uptake amino acids into cells. In GH deficiency cells produce more insulin receptors and become more sensitive to insulin. This causes increased uptake of glucose into cells.
