Question 274 (3 of 4 Based on Passage)
Explanation
Pancreas is largest endocrine gland and it՚s found in our belly. The pancreas makes several hormones, including insulin, which helps glucose, the sugar that՚s in our blood, enter the cells of your body. Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucose uptake, glycogenesis, lipogenesis, and protein synthesis of skeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinase receptor pathway. Our cells need to be fueled with glucose to function, like a car՚s engine needs gas. Our body does an amazing job of making sure that hormones are released in just the right amounts at just the right time. If there՚s a problem with the endocrine system, a person՚s body might not grow like it should or it might not work the way it՚s supposed to Diabetes is one common problem with the endocrine system. It occurs when a person՚s pancreas doesn՚t make enough insulin.
