An organ called the pancreas is responsible for producing insulin. The beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans that are inside the pancreas, specifically carry out the production process.

Which is the organ which produces insulin that keeps the sugar level balanced in the body?

The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body by allowing cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream for energy.

What is insuline resistance?

insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas/beta cells when you eat glucose(sugar) is in the blood stream in order for your cells to use the glucose for energy or store it insulin has to "unlock the gate" to let glucose into the cell in insulin resistance your body cells don't let the insulin "unlock the gate" so the pancreas produces more insulin so you have a lot of insulin in your blood stream Type2 Diabetes - pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly utilize the insulin.


What cells in the pancreas play a role in diabetes?

Insulin...When the blood-sugar level in your body is too high, your pancreas produces more insulin which then allows the glucose to be absorbed by body cells. The glucose level will then reduce. When the Blood-sugar level is too low, your pancreas does not release insulin, which mean that less glucose is absorbed in body cells. The glucose level in the blood is therefore increased.


Is a pancreas danger to the body if not working?

yes it is because your pancreas produces insulin. insulin is a hormone that helps your blood sugar.


Which organ is responsible for producing the hormone insulin to lower blood sugars in the human body?

Pancreas is an endocrine gland that contain cells known as beta cells that produces insulin.


What does insulin allow most of cells of the body to do?

Insulin allows most cells in the body to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. This glucose is then used for energy production or stored for later use.


It is used to stimulates body cells to take up and use blood sugar?

This describes the action of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels by triggering cells in the body to absorb glucose from the bloodstream for energy. This process is essential for maintaining proper blood sugar balance in the body.


Why should you regulate blood sugar?

Your body regulates blood sugar. It is only if you have too much sugar (and carbohydrates break down into sugar) that the body can not keep up, does it become a problem. When you eat large amounts of sugar or carbohydrates, it requires the body to continuously produce high levels of insulin to keep that sugar level down. (Insulin's job is to push sugar out of the bloodstream into the cells where it is used for energy.) Eventually the cells in their body becomes insensitive to the effects of the insulin (insulin resistance). To handle this problem of insulin resistance their body begins to produce even higher levels of insulin. This continues until their pancreas reaches the maximum amount of insulin it can produce, and when the insulin resistance increases again, their blood sugar begins to rise out of control. The result is type 2 diabetes! Type 2 diabetes is actually an extreme case of insulin resistance. It is then that you have to regulate your blood sugar via diet, excerise and give you body some help to make the body's cells sensitive again to the insulin.


What organ in your body needs insculin?

Your Pancreas makes insulin to maintain your sugar levels. People with Type 1 diabetes' pancreases don't make insulin and must have injections. Type 2 diabetes people's pancreases don't make enough insulin to control sugar intake or keep up with the size of the body.


What effect does insulin have on sugar?

Insulin allows glucose(sugar) to enter the body's cells. Insulin also stimulates the liver to convert glucose to glycogen and store it for later use. The end effect is blood sugar is decreased.
