Insulin and Glucagon are produced in the:______.
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Pancreas; islet of langerhans

Explanation:

Insulin and Glucagon are both hormones released into the bloodstream with the function of regulating blood sugar level. Insulin is released when the blood sugar level (glucose) is high, hence, it converts excess glucose to glycogen, which is stored in muscles. Insulin also helps the cell to utilize glucose as an energy source. Glucagon, on the other hand, functions to convert stored glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis) when the glucose levels in the blood is low.

Both hormones i.e. Insulin and Glucagon are secreted into the bloodstream by an endocrine gland called PANCREAS, which is a digestive organ found near the stomach. Specifically, the pancreas contains regions that contain endocrine cells called ISLET CELLS. This region, called Islet of Langerhans, is where the hormones are produced in the PANCREAS.

Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms.<br><br> a. True<br> b. False
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

An endocrine system refers to a series of ductless glands and organs responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that are used by the body for the performance of various functions such as metabolism, controlling growth, reproduction, mood, sleep, etc. These hormones are secreted directly into the circulatory system (blood) and then transported to the organs and tissues in the body.

Basically, the endocrine system contributes significantly to the state of homeostasis in the body.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment that is ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms, which are either positive or negative feedback.

During a negative feedback, a sensor and a control center in the body of a living organism maintains blood glucose to regulate blood pressure by releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar or releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar.

For a positive feedback, a sensor and a control center aids child birth by causing the uterine to contract.

In what way do the nervous and endocrine systems differ in a way
Simora [160]

The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.

The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond. 

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.

Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication
