How does a healthy body respond to a decrease in blood glucose level? A) The pancreas releases insulin into the blood. B) The pancreas releases glucagon into the blood. C) The thyroid gland releases calcitonin into the blood. D) The pituitary gland releases luteinizing hormone into the blood.

Insulin is the chemical responsible for allowing glucose to be broken down to usable energy by the cell. when a large amount of sugar's buildup in the bloodstream your body will naturally attempt to maintain homeostasis, by increasing the amount of insulin, although sometimes in the case of metabolic illnesses like Diabetes Mellitus Type I and II, it doesn't always work out. Type I results from a lack of insulin being produced, while type II is not enough or the insulin doesn't work efficiently

Examples of endocrine organs include the pancreas, which produces the hormones insulin and glucagon to regulate blood-glucose levels, the adrenal glands, which produce hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine that regulate responses to stress, and the thyroid gland, which produces thyroid hormones that regulate
