Biology

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago

Explanation:

When blood glucose levels increase above set point, the hormone insulin, which is produced in the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, is secreted into the bloodstream. The insulin binds to insulin receptors on cell membranes of liver cells, which results in accelerated conversion of glucose to glycogen, and a slower conversion of glycogen to glucose. This caused blood glucose levels to fall back to normal range again.

Grace [21]

Answer:Organ

Explanation:An organ may be defined as a group of tissues which perform similar functions. Organs can be found in both plants and animals,functionally related organs often cooperate to form systems. These organs are interdependent on each other to make up organ systems. Organ systems can be found in the different parts of the body. For instance,the esophagus,stomach and liver make up the digestive system and in the excretory system the skin and kidney are examples of the organs that can be found here. The main tissues of an organ tend to have the same embryological origin. This simply means that they arise from the same germ layer and by germ layer we mean the primary layer of cells that form during embryonic development. In plants however,the main organs are the roots,stem and leaves whose primary functions are to give nourishment to the plant. Reproductive organs of plants include the seed,flowers and spores which maintain the basic life processes of the plant.
