When blood sugar rises, which control becomes more directly active in the body?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Insulin secretion from the pancreas
The governing concept is hormonal regulation of blood glucose, a homeostatic function. When blood glucose rises, pancreatic beta cells release insulin. Insulin promotes uptake of glucose by body cells and its storage as glycogen, helping lower the blood concentration toward a normal range. Therefore A is correct. The thyroid does not secrete iodine, auxin is a plant hormone, and bile is produced by the liver rather than the pituitary gland.
