Question

Choose one of these hormones: Glucagon, Insulin, or Thyroid hormone.

What factors will stimulate the release of this hormone?
What are the metabolic effects of this hormone? (Be specific)
Is this hormone regulated by a positive or negative feedback mechanism?
Explain why.

Answer 1

Hormone - Insulin.

- High blood glucose level.

- Decrease blood glucose levels.

- Negative feedback.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Insulin hormone releases from the beta cells of pancreas. The increase in the blood sugar levels in the bloodstream stimulates the release of insulin in the body.

-The insulin hormone balances the blood glucose level and keeps it in normal range. The insulin stimulates the muscles, bones and other body parts to absorb more glucose and helps in the reduction of high blood glucose levels.

- Insulin is controlled by negative feedback mechanism because high levels of insulin hormone in the blood decreases the further secretion of insulin.
