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.
The Pancreas is what produces insulin
The Pancreas is what produces insulin
Insulin is produced in the pancreas, which is not a small organ. There are specific parts of the pancreas which produce insulin, which are called the Isles of Langerhans.
The liver and kidneys destroy insulin after it has its effect. The pancreas is the site of insulin production.
The organ which produces insulin is the Pancreas (just below the stomach).

The pancreas is an endocrine organ. It produces insulin.
The brain does not require insulin to take up glucose for energy. Unlike most other tissues in the body, the brain can transport glucose across its cell membranes independently of insulin.
I believe it's the endocrine system....insulin is produced by the pancreas...
it is an organ in abdomen which secretes insulin.
