Insulin and Glucagon are produced in the:______.

Biology
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

A sensory neuron.

Explanation:

The nervous system can be divided in two systems: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed by the brain and the spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of the nerves and ganglia. Neurons are specialized cells that form the basic functional unit of the nervous system. There are three types of neurons: sensory, motor and interneurons. The sensory neurons are in charge of bringing signals into the CNS, and the motor neurons are in charge of carrying signals out of the CNS. The interneurons act as intermediaries, passing information between two neurons.  

As the name implies, sensory neurons are activated by the senses, for example: sound, visible light, physical contact (heat and cold), chemical signals (smell and taste). The loss of sensation in one hand would be the result of a damaged sensory neuron.
