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).
When a person eats a hormone is released. This hormone signals the stomach to start breaking down the food.?
endocrine & digestive system
What body system contains the digestive system?
Gastro intestinal tract /systemThe digestive system.
Is the stomach an organ system?
How does glucose enter blood cells to synthesize ATP?
This is a typical muscle cell, you the insulin receptor at the top of page within the membrane of the cell. That insulin receptor sends a signal over to the Glut 4 glucose channel in the membrane to the left of the insulin receptor in which sugers enter the cell. The insulin hormone also sends many signals all over the inside of the cells cytoplasm, and into the nucleus on the bottom of page where transcription of genes takes place. In this case a growth hormone is made from a gene, and that growth hormone regulates the insulin and thereby the uptake of glucose into the cell. A type of negative feedback inhibition loop system, so the cell doesn't get too much intake of suger. That growth hormone controls this from happening. David Hagert Researcher medical
What part of the digestive system produces insulin?
Insulin is not stored, the body makes it on demand. Also it is not part of the digestive system, rather it is a hormone regulating the amount of sugar in the blood (it does however kick in when you have eaten something). Insulin is made by the islets of Langerhans, which are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (i.e., hormone-producing) cells.
What is the role of the pancres?
The PANCREAS is an organ which secretes hormones (insulin, glucagon) and enzymes (trypsin, lipase). It is part of the digestive and gastrointestinal system.
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 autonomic nervous system causes an increase in digestive tract mobility?
Stimulation of the Parasympathetic nervous system causes an increase in digestive tract mobility. When stimulated the parasympathetic post-ganglionic neurons release a hormone called Acetylcholine. This causes the Digestive tract to increase its contractions. Counteracting this increase in digestive tract mobility is the sympathetic nervous system, which releases a hormone called noradrenaline which slows down the digestive tracts contractions. This is how the Parasympathetic Nervous System gets the name "rest and digest"
What does pancreas mean?
The Pancreas is a endocrine gland that secretes insulin (amongst other hormones).
What organ of the digestive system is associated with diabetes?
The pancreas since it produces insulin.
What part of the digestive system reproduces insulin to control blood sugar?
the vagina
What part of the digestive system rpdouces insulin to control blood sugar?
Pancreas

What does the digestive system produce?
The digestive system creates alot of juices. like Gastric juices, digestive juices in the schmach such as hydrochloric acid. Also Insulin, Enzymes, Saliva, and Bile.
Is insulin a steroid?
The function of insulin is too maintain the blood glucose level. So, really, it controls the level of sugar in your body. People with diabetes have trouble controlling their blood glucose level as their insulin doesn't work very well. People with Type 1 Diabetes have to take insulin medications, while people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose levels with diet.
