The ___ cells of pancreatic islets produce insulin.

Medicine
1 answer:
kompoz [17]2 years ago
6 0

The <u>beta</u> cells of pancreatic islets produce insulin.

A beta cell's primary job is to create and secrete insulin, the hormone in charge of controlling blood glucose levels. Beta cells swiftly react by secreting part of their stored insulin and increasing the secretion of the hormone when blood glucose levels start to rise (for instance, after digestion).

Normally, it takes around 10 minutes for this fast reaction to a blood glucose surge. However, in persons with diabetes, these cells are either unable to produce enough insulin for blood sugar regulation or are targeted and destroyed by the immune system (type 1 diabetes) ( type 2 diabetes ).

Rudik [331]

Answer: seen below

Explanation:

Laboratory results are highly confidential whether the result comes out normal or abnormal. In certain states the reports are not given to the patients directly, the reports are directly released to the concerned providers. In order to get the result the patient has to approach the healthcare provider's office and request for a copy of result. Therefore, I would advise Wilmer to come to the office (being the health care provider) and request for a copy of result.

A sensory modality that adapts quickly is touch and smell, whereas pain adapts slowly or not at all.

Sensory modality is the specific type of sensation like touch and smell, it used in detection of a change in the environment. As, sensory modality is the property where one sensation is distinguished from another and individual sensory modality represented the sensation of specific type of stimulus.
