Question

What is the normal ratio of sugar in human blood ?
A..01 %
B.0.1 %
C.1 %
D.5 %

Answer 1

Hint: The pancreas is a compound gland that means both endocrine and exocrine gland. The exocrine portion secretes an alkaline pancreatic juice containing enzymes . And the endocrine portion secretes hormones insulin and glucagon . Insulin and glucagon are used for maintaining normal blood sugar level .

Complete answer:
1.If there is an increase in blood sugar level then the hormone named as insulin is used to decrease the blood sugar level .
2.But if the blood sugar level is decreasing than the normal blood sugar level . The hormone known as glucagon is used to increase the blood sugar level up to normal .
3.Both insulin and glucagon work together to maintain normal blood sugar level in the body . Imbalance in any of the two hormones glucagon or insulin can cause the blood sugar level to decrease or increase abnormally .
4.Insulin act by converting the glucose into glycogen . And storing it in body tissues . When is glucagon breaks down glycogen to release glucose into the body from the organs where glycogen was stored .
5.Glucose is normally present to the extent of 0.1% in the blood . But the level of sugar in the blood can fluctuate if there is any metabolic disorder or the hormones do not work properly .

Hence the correct answer is option(B)

Note: The Adrenal medulla secrete two hormones called adrenaline which is also known as epinephrine and noradrenaline which is also known as norepinephrine . These are commonly called catecholamines . Catecholamines also stimulate the breakdown of glycogen resulting in an increased concentration of sugar in blood.
