Definition

Influences carbohydrate metabolism

 

Indirectly influences fat and protein metabolism

 

 

Term

(ISLETS OF LANGERHANS)

HORMONES SECRETED/PRODUCED

Definition

(I)1.INSULIN (FROM BETA CELLS)

Analogy

(Pancreas "PIGS")

Term

PANCREAS

 HORMONE

(INSULIN)

Definition

1. from beta cells

2.promotes movement of glucose out of blood and into cells.

3.an anabolic hormone

4.responsible for growth repair and storage

5.accelerates the transport of amino acids into cells and their synthesis into protein 

Term

HORMONE

(GLUCAGON)

Definition

1.Synthesized and released from Pancreatic Alpha Cells in response to low levels blood glucose, protein ingestion and exercise

 

2.Increases blood glucose by stimulating glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and ketogenisis

Term

(PANCREAS)

HORMONE SECRETED/PRODUCED

SOMATOSTATIN

Definition
