Pancreas secretes insulin.

Can the pancreas secrete insulin?

Pancreas is an important endocrine organ, which can be divided into endocrine system and exocrine system. Insulin is the only hormone in the body that lowers blood sugar. It can promote the absorption and utilization of blood sugar, and also promote the storage and conversion of glucose. When blood sugar levels rise, islet beta cells secrete insulin to promote glucose absorption and utilization. When blood sugar levels drop, beta cells stop producing insulin. Insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance may increase the risk of diabetes.
