Question 24
Question
Insulin helps to keep your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).
Question 25
Question
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.
Question 26
Question
[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.
Question 27
Question
The pancreas releases glucagon when the concentration of insulin (and indirectly glucose) in the bloodstream falls too low.
Question 28
Question
Glucagon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream.
Question 29
Question
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.
Question 30
Question
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.
Question 31
Question
Hypothalamus – production of antiduiretic hormone and oxytocin
Question 32
Question
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
Question 33
Question
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.
Question 34
Question
Through secretion of its hormones, the pituitary gland controls metabolism, growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, blood pressure and many other vital physical functions and processes.
