14. The bone marrow is considered a common component of the _______ and the _______ systems. a. Skeletal, circulatory. b. Circulatory, endocrine. c. Circulatory, digestive. d. Urinary, skeletal. 15. Insulin and glucagon are examples of _______ that are responsible for _______. a. Hormones, blood glucose regulation. b. Enzymes, blood glucose regulation. c. Blood cells, blood glucose regulation. d. None of the above. 16. Underline/highlight the correct choices: When the blood glucose level is low, (insulin / glucagon) is released from the (liver / pancreas) to help (store glucose in / release glucose from) the cells. 17. In the endocrine system, the hormones are secreted by a group of organs and tissues that are called _______. a. Nerves. b. Capillaries. c. Alveoli. d. Glands. 18. Hormonal secretions are regulated by a negative feedback mechanism. This mechanism means that _______. a. when blood glucose level is low, it keeps decreasing below normal levels. b. a secreted hormone remains to be secreted continuously. c. the hormones are either actively secreted or inhibited depending on the state of the body. d. All of the above. 19. The hypothalamus is _______, which has a major role in the _______ system. a. A gland, endocrine. b. A gland, nervous. c. An area in the brain, endocrine. d. An area in the brain, nervous. 20. The thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are responsible for the regulation of _______. a. Nerve impulses.

The pancreas is a human body organ that produces digestive enzymes and two very important hormones : insulin and glucagon. These two hormones work together to regulate the level of the sugar glucose in the bloodstream. If glucose levels in the bloodstream are too low, the pancreas secrets glucagon which causes the glucose level to increase. if blood levels are too high, the hormone insulin will lower the glucose level. if a person has just eaten a meal containing a large amount of sugar and other carbohydrate, which statement best describes how the pancreas will respond.
