One role of the pancreas is to help regulate blood glucose levels. Two types of cells in the pancreas, beta and alpha, serve as
solniwko [45]

1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.

Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.

Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.

• Pancreatic cells-sensors

• Insulin-control system

• Body cells- effector cells

2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.

This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.

3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.

Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.

You have a 12 sided cube that is numbered from 1 to 12. What is the probability of rolling a five?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

Formula for calculating probability:

            Probability of an outcome A =

     Number of favorable outcomes of A / Number of possible outcomes

       P ( A )  = number of favorable outcomes to A / total number of outcomes

⇒ The number of times 5 can appear when you roll the 12 sided cube once is one time   =  1

⇒ The total number of possible outcomes is 12 - meaning you can roll any number between 1 - 12 when you roll the dice once.   = 12

Therefore the probability of rolling 5  = 1 /12

 Probability = 1 / 12

hope this help and brainiest please. thx
