What is a hormone secreted by the pancreas?

Answer 1

The pancreas releases two hormones, insulin and glucagon. When blood sugar is high, insulin is released to promote uptake of glucose into the body's cells. Oppositely, when blood sugar is low, glucagon is released to stimulate breakdown of glycogen which is the body's store of sugar in the liver to raise blood glucose levels.

Answer 2

The pancreas secretes hormones that control the glucose levels in the blood. If the glucose level of the blood is low, the brain sends a signal to the pancreas and it secretes a hormone called glucagon. If blood sugar is too high, a hormone called insulin is realased. Without the pancreas, blood sugar levels would go out of control and cause damage to the body.

Answer 3

They maintain blood glucose level.Negative feed back mechanism is used.

Answer 4

The pancreas is responsible for the production and secretion of the hormones insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar.

they stimulate the pituitary gland

Answer 5

The endocrine function of the pancreas is to secrete two hormones. Glucagon, which raises blood sugar levels and Insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels.

Answer 6

It produces insulin (its deficiency causes Diabetes) and glucagon, hormones important in glucose metabolism.

Answer 7

pancreatic lipase, insulin
