Question

Name the 2 hormones secreted by pancreas. Write one function of each hormone .

Answer 1

two hormones secreted by pancreas are insulin and glucagon.

Both regulate the levels of glucose in our body.

Glucagon helps in elevating the amount of glucose in the blood while insulin decreases the level of glucose in the blood stream.

Answer 2

Gastrin: This hormone aids digestion by stimulating certain cells in the stomach to produce acid.

Glucagon: Glucagon helps insulin maintain normal blood glucose by working in the opposite way of insulin. It stimulates your cells to release glucose, and this raises your blood glucose levels.

Insulin: This hormone regulates blood glucose by allowing many of your body’s cells to absorb and use glucose. In turn, this drops blood glucose levels.

Somatostatin: When levels of other pancreatic hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, get too high, somatostatin is secreted to maintain a balance of glucose and/or salt in the blood.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP): This hormone helps control water secretion and absorption from the intestines by stimulating the intestinal cells to release water and salts into the intestines.

These are hormones released by pancreas
