How are insulin and blood sugar related?
insulin helps transport the blood sugar into cells were sugar is needed. insulin is related to blood sugar cause insulin can lower blood sugar level.
What is thehomone produced in the pancreas that regulates the level of glucose in blood?
The hormone produced in the pancreas that regulates the level of glucose in the blood is insulin. It helps to lower blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake and storage of glucose in cells.
How do you measure the effectiveness of insulin therapy?
after testing blood glucose level to see if it's lower or high. If the blood glucose level is between 70-100mg/dl the therapy is effective.
Does insulin has the opposite effect of glucagon?
Yes, insulin and glucagon have opposite effects in the body. Insulin helps lower blood sugar levels by promoting the storage of glucose, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of stored glucose from the liver.
What is an example of negative feedback?
An example of negative feedback would be a secretion of greater amount of insulin to lower the blood sugar level, and then secretion of greater amount of glucagon to increase the blood sugar level, and then a secretion of a greater amount of insulin to lower the blood sugar level..... etc.

What is the hormone secreted by the pancreas which lower the level of blood sugar?
Insulin

What are the three main types of tissues that respond to insulin well and help lower blood glucose level?
the pancreas and liver..

What hormones do you produce that help regulate blood sugar levels?
The hormones produced by the body that help regulate blood sugar levels are insulin and glucagon. Insulin helps lower blood sugar levels, while glucagon helps raise them when they are too low.
Is it true that when blood glucose levels rise insulin is released by the gallbladder to lower the level?
no its not the gallbladder but the pancreas and in some diabetics this does not happen
How is the level of sugar in vertebrate blood kept constant?
The blood sugar level is controlled mainly by two hormones.1.Insulin 2.Glucagon.Both hormones are secreted from Pancreas. When blood glucose level (sugar level) increases, Insulin is secreted from beta cells of islets of Langerhans in Pancreas. it increases the cellular uptake of glucose which in turn reduce the glucose level in the blood. When glucose level decreases in the blood, Alpha cells secrete Glucagon. It decrease the uptake of glucose by cells and increase glucose level.Over level of glucose also expelled through urine (Diabetes Mellitus)Mainly insulin & Glucagon are the controllers of blood glucose level.
Why is insulin associated with the maintenance of blood glucose levels?
The pancreas releases insulin to lower the level of glucose in blood, and on the other hand, for the balance, it also secretes glucagon to elevate the level of glucose. Insulin is one half of the balance mechanism for glucose levels. Too much and too little glucose has damaging effects on the body and it's cells.
How does insulin effect blood sugar and how does this relate to type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is the chemical released from the pancreas (in non-Diabetics) to lower blood sugar whenever we eat. Type 1 Diabetics are insulin dependent (need to inject themselves with insulin to stay at a healthy blood sugar level) and Type 2 Diabetics who don't necessarily look after themselves well may need to become insulin dependent.
What is the only hormone that can lower blood glucose levels?
The only hormone that can lower blood glucose levels is insulin.
What will happen if a non diabetic takes insulin?
The insulin will stimulate the formation of glycogen, which will lower your blood sugar
