Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.
GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.
INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
Answer:
A. Menstruation and the estrogen surge
Explanation:
The events that occur simultaneously in the monthly female reproductive cycle are menstruation and estrogen increase.
The menstrual cycle lasts about 28 days and is controlled by the secretion of gonadotropins (FSH and LH), secreted by the pituitary, and estrogen and progesterone, produced by the ovaries. The first day of the cycle corresponds to the first day of menstruation. During menstruation, levels of sex hormones in the blood are low. By the sixth day, the pituitary again secretes a greater amount of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
Therefore, in this first phase of menstruation, the pituitary secretes the hormone FSH, which, as the name implies, will stimulate the development of ovarian follicles. In turn, the follicles produce estrogen, which stimulates the growth of cells in the uterine inner wall, the endometrium, which becomes thicker and well-vascularized. These are changes that prepare the uterus for the implantation of an embryo, ie a pregnancy.
The high concentration of estrogen in the blood stimulates the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). LH induces ovulation, which occurs around the 14th day of the cycle. Next, the LH induces the rupture of the ovarian follicle and the consequent release of the egg, besides leading to the development of the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum produces progesterone, which will assist in maintaining the endometrium until the end of the menstrual cycle.
The deeper you go down in to the rock the older the fossils get. So when the scientists go in to the rock they can say what animals lived in that time and what animal was the oldest.
