Islet cells, specifically the beta cells within the pancreatic islets, secrete insulin in response to rising blood glucose levels. While they do not secrete insulin at a fixed interval like every 6 minutes, they release it in a pulsatile manner, with bursts occurring several times per hour. This rhythmic secretion helps regulate blood sugar levels effectively. The exact timing and quantity can vary based on individual metabolic needs and conditions.

What organ does not need insulin?
Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.
If a cell divides every 2 minutes how many cells will there be in 14 minutes?
128
Does the Beta Cells in the pancreatic islets produce insulin?
The gene for producing insulin is present in every body cell, but the pancreas is the only thing that makes it and yes. It also produces and secretes the enzymes that digest fat, proteins and starch molecules.
Does ordinary milk have any glucose?
Almonst all food and liquids (other than water) that humans consume have some form of sugar (look for words ending in -trose, like dextrose). As well, almost every food or liquid, including milk, breaks down in the digestive tract and forms "glucose", which is the body's and cell's fuel. As we eat or drink, the pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin is needed to carry glucose into the cells to be converted to energy. In Diabetes, the pancreas cannot secrete insulin and so, the body stores the glucose into fat cells. When the body needs energy, stored glucogen reverts to glucose for the cell's energy needs.
Why pharmacokinetics of Human Insulin does not match with Human body?
You have 'human Insulin' produced by a technique called as 'Genetic engineering'. In this you put 'Human gene' isolated from 'Human cells' into DNA of microorganism. They produce 'exact' replica of 'human insulin' and isextremelyuseful. It will never ever form antibody like Pig Insulin or Bovine insulin. But it has a dis-advantage of Pharmacokinetics. Given intro-venous or intramuscular it has half life of only about 8 minutes. So you have to give it either by continuous intro-venous drip or by repeated intro-muscular injections say every 10 to 15 minutes. For slow absorption, you have to give sub-cutaneous injection. Then it becomes too slow and you do not have a route in between. If you give subcutaneous injection of 'Human insulin', then there is immediate hyperglycemia, fallowed by hyperglycemia. So you have designers Insulin with there own disadvantages.
Which cells secrete insulin?
<liver cells, muscles cells but not nerve cells> You have to remember that under regular conditions the production of ATP is derived from glucose. Every cell needs ATP to function for that reason all cells in the body need glucose to function under regular conditions. Since insulin is the hormone that signals cells to take up glucose and glucose is needed to efficiently produce ATP it makes sense that virtually every cell in the body responds to insulin including nerve cells.
If cells divide every 30 minutes and you started with 2 cells how many cells would you have after 3 hours a 6 cells b 32 cells c 128 cells d 512 cells?

How is insulin produced?
Diabetic's bodies lack the ability to produce insulin, the medical world has had to come up with other sources of insulin for diabetics to use. The early method for producing insulin (which is still used to a lesser extent today) was to source it from animals, particularly pigs and cows (pigs physiology is quite similar to humans.. surprisingly). Nowdays, scientists are much more likely to use genetic engineering to produce human insulin in ecoli bacteria. The e.coli's circular chromosome is cut using 'DNA scissors' resulting in unpaired base's (known as sticky ends) matching those of the insulin gene which is then inserted. Because e.coli produce a new generation every 20 minutes on average, it doesnt take long for the gene to be replicated over and over. The e.coli is then removed, and we are left with a supply of human insulin.
What cells make up the small intestine?
The small intestine is primarily made up of epithelial cells, which line the inner surface and are responsible for nutrient absorption. Other cells found in the small intestine include goblet cells that secrete mucus, enteroendocrine cells that produce hormones, and immune cells like lymphocytes that help protect against pathogens.
What are the benefits of chromium?
Chromium helps control blood sugar levels by increasing the action of insulin, the hormone responsible for carrying sugar (glucose) into your cells, where it can be used for energy. After a meal, blood glucose levels rise, and, in response, your pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels by increasing the rate at which glucose enters your cells. To accomplish this, insulin must be able to attach to receptors on the surface of cells. Chromium is thought to help initiate the attachment of insulin to the insulin receptors. Chromium may also help with cholesterol metabolism, and may help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. In addition, chromium is involved in nucleic acid metabolism. Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA, the genetic material found in every cell. Chromium also influences the regulation of serotonin, the brain's so-called happiness chemical.

How many cells are produced over three hours every fifteen minutes and you start with one cell?
If you start with one cell and double the number of cells every fifteen minutes, you can calculate the number of cells produced over three hours (which is 12 fifteen-minute intervals). Starting with one cell, after each interval, the number of cells doubles: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048. Therefore, after three hours, you would have 2048 cells.
