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.
