Question
Chapter 17.10, Problem 29WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Whether the stimulus for insulin or glucagon released from the pancreas is humoral, hormonal, or nervous.
Introduction:
Insulin is released from the beta cells of the pancreas. On the other hand, glucagon is produced from the alpha cells. Both are endocrine hormones but their functions are antagonistic to each other.
