The fish began undergoing insulin shock. As the insulin was absorbed into the bloodstream through the gills, it opened up more glucose pathways in the fish's cell walls, causing glucose levels in the blood stream to drop. This reduced the amount of glucose available for the brain, leading to tremors, coma and eventual death.

∙ 9y agoHyperinsulinism causes glucose levels to drop rapidly below normal levels. In early stages, tremors and hunger are the predominant symptoms. If left untreated, it progresses to insulin shock, where the brain is no longer receiving the nutrients it requires. Insulin shock leads to convulsions, unconsciousness and eventually, death.

What after receiving a signal from the nervous system it releases hormones like insulin?
the pancreas secretes insulin
What part of the digestive system makes a hormone called insulin?
That would be the pancreas. When you have diabetes, your pancreas doesn't make enough insulin.
How does the digestive system and endocrine system work together to maintain a stable blood sugar level?
**** When we digest carbohydrates, they are transformed into sugars. The pancreas, part of the endocrine system, produces the hormone insulin to regulate how fast the sugars are broken down; therefore, insulin regulates the amount of sugar in the blood in a certain amount of time (the blood glucose level).
A common condition of the endocrine system in which the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin resulting in chronic elevations of glucose in the blood is known as?
diabetes
When the particles are the same throughout the system?
Equilibrium is reached, the solution is isotonic.
How do you xxplain what was happening within the fish's system when the fish was immersed in the insulin solution?
malunod eh.............
In which organ system is insulin produced?
I believe it's the endocrine system....insulin is produced by the pancreas...
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 happens when the rate of synthesesing glycogen is high?
When the synthesizing glycogen is high in the human body it means that you have hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is when you have too much insulin in your system.
Which system is responsible for the secretion of insulin and adrenaline?
Endocrine system
What after receiving a signal from the nervous system it releases hormones like insulin?
the pancreas secretes insulin
Which hormone is not under the control of the nervous system?
insulin
Which body system is functioning improperly when not enough of the hormone insulin is produced?
the endocrine system
What part of the digestive system makes a hormone called insulin?
That would be the pancreas. When you have diabetes, your pancreas doesn't make enough insulin.
What systems balance blood glucose and insulin levels?
The endocrine system
What happens within the endocrine system when a person is cut in the arm?
When a person suffers an injury, prolactin and dopamine levels increase. Meanwhile, insulin, thyroid hormones, FSH, LH, estrogen, and testosterone decrease.
What is when the pancreas stops working then starts again?
This happens with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Basically, the autoimmune system believes the pancreas is a foreign body and sets out to destroy the insulin producing in it.
