The small intestine adds glucose from the food you eat, into the blood stream. Perhaps you mean insulin which regulates the uptake of glucose. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets. The pancreas is the organ in this case.

The organ that releases nutrients into the bloodstream?
the liver
What is the organ in the digestive system that releases nutrients into the bloodstream by the process of absorption?
The small intestine. It has villi that absorb nutrients and then transport them to the bloodstream.
What organ releases glucose to help maintain normal blood glucose levels in between meals?
Liver
What is the hormone that signals the release of glucose out of storage?
When blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon, which signals the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream.
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.
Which is an endocrine function apex?
The pineal glands releases melatonin into the bloodstream
What is an endocrine functions?
The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream
What doest the liver remove from the bloodstream?
The liver removes glucose
When insulin producing cells have been destroyed is it type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
the Answer is type 1 diabetes. why? its because since the insulin producing cell called "beta cell" have been destroyed. hence the pancreas do not produce insulin at all. (1). The pancreas makes little or no insulin. and inability of insulin to circulating in the bloodstream, glucose cannot enter body cells. As a result, glucose remains in the bloodstream. (2). Without insulin in the blood, the liver cannot absorb glucose. Instead, the liver releases some of the glucose it has stored into the bloodstream. and finally (3). Absence of insulin in the blood, body cells cannot accept glucose. Too much glucose builds up in the bloodstream, resulting in the medical problems associated with diabetes.
What hormone is increased in the glucose in the bloodstream?
Glucagon
What system releases signal molecules into the bloodstream?
endocrine glands.
The organ most responsible for extracting and converting lactic acid to pyruvic acid and which ultimately reforms and releases free glucose via the Cori cycle into the blood is the?
liver
