Question

multiple choice question after a meal high in carbohydrates, the blood glucose levels rise. this rise in blood glucose stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin. the secretion of insulin is due to: humoral control neural control hormonal control

Explanation:

Humoral control involves the regulation of body functions by chemicals (such as ions and nutrients) in the blood. Here, the change in blood - glucose (a nutrient) level stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin. Neural control involves nerve impulses and hormonal control involves one hormone stimulating another hormone release. In this case, it's the change in blood - glucose level (a humoral factor) that triggers insulin secretion.

Answer:

A. humoral control
