To release insulin from the endocrine pancreas cells, the vesicles in the cell need calcium to bind to the internal cell membrane and eject their contents into the blood stream. If a person (or animal) is hypocalcemic (has low blood calcium levels), there isn't enough calcium in the pancreas cell to release the insulin.

The pulsatile secretion of hormones?
is needed to prevent the downregulation of target cells
What glands secrete hormones such as insulin?
The beta cells of the Isles of Langerhaans in the pancreas secrete insulin.
How the action of the pancreatic hormones complement one another?
Beta cells secrete insulin, which lowers blood glucose and stimulates the production of glycogen. Alpha cells secrete glucagon, which raises blood glucose. The secretion of insulin is stimulated by a rise of blood glucose following meals. Glucogon is stimulated by a fall in blood glucose during periods of fasting.
How does citrate blood causes hypocalcemia?
Citrate blood causes hypocalcemia through the toxic substances that it has. This will cause blood transfusion to flow in large volumes.
Diabetes effects which endocrine gland?
HYPERGLYCEMIA;is the condition in which increased levels of blood glucose are found.this generally occurs during diabetic condition caused due to deficiency of insulin bec of various reasons.generally in presence of insulin it causes decrease in blood levels of glucose.due to its absence, cells get glucose deficiency although they are surrounded by glucose bec insulin acts as a key to cell for its uptake.as a result increase in blood glucose levels occurs.in order to prevent hyperglycemia insulin supplements are to be taken.this condition also occurs due to excess secretion of glycogen.this increase glucose levels of blood.
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.
What happens in there is over secretion of insulin?
If there is overproduction of insulin then your sugar is low all the time. You will be hypoglycemic all the time.
Insulin secretion is stimulated by blood glucose concentrations?
Yes. Rising glucose levels causes insulin to be secreted.
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 the medical term meaning condition associated with abnormal insulin secretion and sensitivity?
The medical term for a condition associated with abnormal insulin secretion and sensitivity is "insulin resistance." This condition can lead to high blood sugar levels and often precedes the development of type 2 diabetes. It is commonly seen in individuals with obesity and sedentary lifestyles.
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.
