Which hormones that regulate blood glucose levels are secreted by the pancreas? (Select all that apply.)

Insulin

Growth hormone

Estrogen

Glucagon

Antidiuretic hormone

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,D

A. Insulin: Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and lowers blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells.
B. Growth hormone: Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, not the pancreas. It can affect blood glucose levels indirectly but is not a pancreatic hormone.
C. Estrogen: Estrogen is produced primarily by the ovaries, not the pancreas. It does not directly regulate blood glucose levels.
D. Glucagon: Glucagon is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas and raises blood glucose levels by promoting the conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver.
E. Antidiuretic hormone: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. It regulates water balance in the body, not blood glucose levels.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. In 15 to 30 minutes:This is the onset time for regular insulin, not the peak. Blood sugar monitoring during this period may not yet reveal the full effect of the insulin.

B. In 1 to 2 hours:This is too early for the peak of regular insulin. Hypoglycemia risk is lower during this period compared to the 2 to 4-hour peak window.

C. In 4 to 6 hours:This is nearing the end of the action duration for regular insulin, so monitoring blood sugar at this time would be less effective for identifying hypoglycemia risk at the peak.

D. In 2 to 4 hours:This is the peak action time for regular insulin, when blood glucose should be monitored closely for potential hypoglycemia.

A. The patient uses OTC drugs prophylactically B. The patient stops taking the drug when he or she begins to feel better C. The patient switches to multiple drug therapy from single drug therapy D. The patient increases the drug dosage when he or she perceives that the therapeutic effect of the drug is slowing down.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. The patient uses OTC drugs prophylactically: OTC (over-the-counter) medications used appropriately shouldn't directly cause microbial repopulation.
B. The patient stops taking the drug when he or she begins to feel better: This is the most concerning habit. Stopping antibiotics early allows susceptible microbes to survive and multiply, potentially leading to a recurrent infection.
C. The patient switches to multiple drug therapy from single drug therapy: This might be done under a doctor's supervision for complex infections, and wouldn't necessarily promote repopulation.
D. The patient increases the drug dosage when he or she perceives that the therapeutic effect is slowing down: Increasing the dosage without consulting a doctor is not recommended, but it wouldn't necessarily cause repopulation if the original dose was effective.
