Which is an endocrine function apex?

When blood glucose levels rise your pancreas releases a hormone called?

How does the feedback control system for insulin production work?
The control of blood glucose levels operates by what is known as a negative feedback mechanism. Here is a summary of the 2 control loops.When the blood glucose level goes upBlood sugar (glucose) rises;The pancreas detects the rise;The pancreas pumps out insulin into the blood;Insulin helps the uptake of glucose into muscles and other cells;This causes the blood glucose level to fall to its normal set point; andThe pancreas detects the fall and switches off insulin production.When the blood glucose level goes downBlood sugar (glucose) drops;The pancreas detects the drop in blood sugar;The pancreas switches on the output of glucagon into the blood;Glucagon signals the liver to break down glycogen into glucose;The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream;Blood glucose goes up to its normal set point; andThe pancreas detects the rise in blood sugar and switches off glucagon release.
How does pancreas know to give off insulin?
When it detects the sugar in your blood. The sugar has to pass through your pancreas and it lets insulin out depending on how much sugar there is.
