correct answer mates

Answer 2

Insulin-blood glucose level increases, in case of stoppage of functioning of islets of

Explanation:

• The islet of Langerhans is a cluster of specialized pancreatic cells (beta cells) which functions to regulate blood glucose levels by producing the hormone insulin.
• Insulin controls blood glucose level by regulating glucose metabolism and aiding in proper storage of glucose in liver, muscles and adipose tissues to be used by the body when necessary.
• Moreover, the alpha cells of the islet of Langerhans secrete the hormone glucagon which also helps to maintain the blood glucose levels.
• So when islet of Langerhans stops to function, then insulin production will be reduced or stopped as well as glucagon levels, leading to high levels of blood glucose levels or the condition called diabetes mellitus.
