Answer:

Glucagon and Insulin are released from the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas.

Glucagon increases blood glucose levels whereas Insulin decreases blood glucose levels.

Explanation:

  • Glucagon is secreted from the alpha cells of the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas into the bloodstream.
  • Glucagon stimulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose through a process known as glycogenolysis.
  • It results in the increase in blood glucose levels.
  • Insulin is secreted from the Beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas into the bloodstream.
  • Insulin stimulates the conversion of glucose to glycogen in the liver by a process known as glycogenesis.
  • Insulin also increases the peripheral glucose uptake in somatic cells for aerobic respiration.

Hence, Glucagon and Insulin can be distinguished based on their synthesis and their mechanism of action.
