What is the concentration of glucose in the blood is primarily regulated by what?
The primary regulators of blood glucose are the hormones glucagon and insulin. Glucagon raises it and insulin lowers it.
Insulin and glucagon are examples of what type of substances?
Insulin and glucagon are hormones produced in the pancreas that regulate blood glucose levels. Insulin helps lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake by cells, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver.
What 2 sets of hormones have opposing actions?
Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones, secreted by pancreas and oppose the action of one another.
What does the pancreas release?
The pancreas is endocrine (producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin). The most important is insulin which controls the take-up of glucose by the body's cells.
What hormone acts on the pancreas?
