Which hormones that regulate blood glucose levels are secreted by the pancreas? (Select all that apply.)
Correct answer
A,D
Rationale
The correct answer is A and D. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas in response to high blood glucose levels to help lower it by promoting glucose uptake by cells. Glucagon is secreted by the pancreas when blood glucose levels are low to stimulate the liver to release stored glucose into the blood. Growth hormone, estrogen, and antidiuretic hormone do not directly regulate blood glucose levels and are not secreted by the pancreas for this purpose.
