Insulin stimulates the:
Liver to take up glucose, activate glycogen synthesis, shut down glycogenolysis and gluconeogensis
Muscles to take up glucose and amino acids (and possibly fatty acids)
Adipose tissue to take up glucose and fatty acids (and possibly amino acids)
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes along with the enzymes insulin and glucagon.
The intestinal hormone that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreatic islet cells is called incretin, with the two main forms being glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These hormones are released in response to food intake and play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release.
Insulin is released from the pancreas, specifically from beta cells located in the islets of Langerhans within the pancreas. These cells are responsible for producing and releasing insulin in response to increased blood glucose levels.
Yes, insulin is secreted by the pancreas. This secretion is part of the endocrine function of the pancreas.
GIP Well, Insulin is a hormone that lowers the blood sugar level. Normally, the Hypothalamus (in the brain) sends messages to the Pituitary Gland (also in brain) to release a hormone that tells a gland to release a certain hormone, but that is NOT the case with Insulin (and glucagon). The pancreas can detect blood glucose levels. After eating, when there is a high blood glucose concentration, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps the liever store the glucose as glycogen, which the muscle cells can store and use to build protein. Or the adipose tissue can use glucose to form fat. From these actions, the blood glucose level drops. All in all, no hormone really stimulates the release of Insulin. The pancreas can detect the blood glucose concentration after eating.
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
pancreas
after eating, your blood glucose level goes up and the insulin would kick in, insulin is released from the pancreas and the insulin opens the cell door for glucose and the blood glucose levels go back to normal.
pancreas
* Insulin - released by pancreas - encourages liver and muscle cells to absorb glucose from the blood; stimulates the conversion of glucose ----> glycogen in liver/muscle cells.
The beta cells of the Isles of Langerhaans in the pancreas secrete insulin.
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes along with the enzymes insulin and glucagon.
The Pancreas is what produces insulin
The intestinal hormone that stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreatic islet cells is called incretin, with the two main forms being glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).

Insulin is released from the pancreas, specifically from beta cells located in the islets of Langerhans within the pancreas. These cells are responsible for producing and releasing insulin in response to increased blood glucose levels.
Pancreas detects blood glucose level by its cells called "Islets of Langerhans." When the blood glucose level is too high, it releases insulin. When it becomes too low, the pancreas then releases glucagon to elevate a low blood glucose.
