Frage 24
Frage
Insulin helps to keep your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).
Frage 25
Frage
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use.
Frage 26
Frage
[blank_start]Insulin[blank_end] helps the body's cells absorb glucose, lowering blood sugar and providing the cells with the glucose they need for energy. ... [blank_start]Glucagon[blank_end] forces the liver to release stored glucose, which causes the blood sugar to rise.
Frage 27
Frage
The pancreas releases glucagon when the concentration of insulin (and indirectly glucose) in the bloodstream falls too low.
Frage 28
Frage
Glucagon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream.
Frage 29
Frage
Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and the muscles and provides the body with a readily available source of energy if blood glucose levels decrease.
Frage 30
Frage
Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and the muscles and provides the body with a readily available source of energy if blood glucose levels decrease.
Frage 31
Frage
Hypothalamus – production of antiduiretic hormone and oxytocin
Frage 32
Frage
The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in many important functions, including:
- releasing hormones
- regulating body temperature
- maintaining daily physiological cycles
- controlling appetite
- managing of sexual behavior
- regulating emotional responses
Frage 33
Frage
The pituitary gland produces prolactin, which acts on the breasts to induce milk production. The pituitary gland also secretes hormones that act on the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, ovaries and testes, which in turn produce other hormones.
