Study Notes
Pancreas and Hormones
- Somatostatin is produced by the delta cells of the pancreas.
Insulin and Glucagon
- Insulin's primary function in blood glucose regulation is to facilitate the uptake of glucose by cells, particularly muscle and adipose tissue, and promote its storage.
- Alpha cells in the pancreas produce glucagon.
- Insulin promotes glycogen synthesis by stimulating the conversion of glucose into glycogen in the liver and muscle cells.
- Insulin acts as an anabolic hormone in the body, promoting the synthesis of glycogen, protein, and fat.
