What else can I help you with?
Hormones produced by the pancreatic islets affect the body's use of?
Hormones produced by the pancreatic islets affect the body's use of glucose and regulate blood sugar levels. Specifically, insulin is responsible for lowering blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells for energy or storage, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of glucose from stores such as the liver.
Which type of pancreatic cells, specifically, help to lower blood sugar levels?
The pancreatic cells that help to lower blood sugar levels are called beta cells.
What gland controls blood sugar levels?
pancreatic islets
True or false- The beta cells of the pancreatic islets secrete glucagon in response to low blood sugar levels?
False. Beta cells of the pancreatic islets secrete insulin in response to high blood sugar levels, not glucagon. Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells in the pancreatic islets in response to low blood sugar levels to raise blood sugar levels.
What makes pancreatic juice and insulin to regulate blood sugar?
enzymes
What does the pancreatic islets secrete in reponse to low blood sugar?
Insulin is secreted by the pancreas to control blood sugar levels.
In response to low blood sugar the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets secrete?
glucagon
How does blood lost affect blood sugar?
Blood effects sugar in your bio
What does pancreatic insulin regulate?
The pancreas secretes insulin that regulates glucose (blood sugar) metabolism.
How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
Does alcohol affect sugar levels?
Yes, alcohol has sugar in it and can affect blood sugar levels. Most diabetics are told to avoid alcohol consumption, as it tends to distort blood sugar levels and makes blood sugar control difficult.
What is the hormone synthesized by the pancreatic islet D cells?
Pancreas produces insulin hormone to lower sugar in blood.
