What else can I help you with?
What organ releases glucose to help maintain normal blood glucose levels in between meals?
The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream to help maintain normal blood glucose levels in between meals. This process is regulated by hormones like insulin and glucagon.
The organ that releases nutrients into the bloodstream?
the liver
What organ releases insulin into the duodenum?
The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream, not directly into the duodenum. Insulin is released in response to high blood sugar levels to regulate glucose metabolism throughout the body.
What is the organ in the digestive system that releases nutrients into the bloodstream by the process of absorption?
The small intestine. It has villi that absorb nutrients and then transport them to the bloodstream.
Glycogen is stored in the accessory digestive organ called?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, not in an accessory digestive organ. The liver acts as a storage site for glycogen and releases glucose into the bloodstream when needed. Muscles use glycogen as a source of energy during physical activity.
How do the human body is glucose stored?
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. It is stored in the liver and in muscle tissue until it is needed, then the hormone glucagon - 'turns-the-sugar-on'- and releases the glycogen as glucose into the bloodstream.
What malfunctioning organ causes glucose in urine?
The malfunctioning organ that causes glucose in urine is the kidneys. Normally, the kidneys filter glucose from the blood and reabsorb it back into the bloodstream. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, they may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its presence in the urine, a condition known as glycosuria.
Homeostasis is illustrated in the human body by the effects of insulin on the amount of?
glucose in the bloodstream. When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas releases insulin to help cells uptake glucose for energy production, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Conversely, when blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas reduces insulin secretion, allowing the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream to maintain stable levels.
Which is an endocrine function apex?
The pineal glands releases melatonin into the bloodstream
Which organ cannot store and survive without glucose?
The brain cannot store glucose and relies on a continuous supply from the bloodstream to function properly. It is the main consumer of glucose in the body and cannot survive for long periods without it.
What is the route a glucose molecule takes from the small intestine to a leg muscle cell?
After being absorbed in the small intestine, glucose enters the bloodstream and is transported to the liver. The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream as needed, and it travels to the leg muscle cells through the circulatory system. Once in the muscle cell, glucose is used as an energy source through cellular respiration.
What organ in the body detects changes in blood glucose level?
The pancreas is the organ in the body that detects changes in blood glucose levels. It releases insulin to lower blood sugar levels and glucagon to raise blood sugar levels in response to these changes.
