The pancreas detects this rise in blood glucose and starts to secrete insulin. Insulin works by improving the uptake of glucose from the blood across cell membranes and into the cells of the body, and so takes glucose out of the bloodstream.
Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. This hormone lowers blood glucose levels after a meal by stimulating the absorption of glucose by liver, muscle, and adipose tissues. Insulin triggers the formation of glycogen in the muscles and liver and triglycerides in adipose to store the absorbed glucose. Regulation of Pancreatic Function. The pancreas is controlled by both the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the endocrine system.
