After you eat, insulin is secreted by pancreatic Beta cells into the bloodstream, where it diffuses throughout the body to bind to receptors on target cells, telling them to take up glucose. This mode of signaling is referred to as:______.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The mode of signaling is called Endocrine signaling

Explanation:

Endocrine signaling can be defined as the process whereby chemicals called hormones released by the endocrine glands into the blood stream.

Endocrine signaling has a slow effect on the cells of the body. This effect can also be a long lasting effect as well.

For Endocrine signaling to work, receptors are needed. Examples of these receptors are:

a. Intracellular receptors

b. Surface cell receptors

In Endocrine signaling, when the hormones are released they bind to the receptors of the target cells that requires the hormones to function.

Answer:

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SIGNALING

Explanation:

The rise in blood glucose level after a meal causes the secretion of insulin by the pancreatic beta cells which work to reduce the level of blood glucose back to normal.

Any rise in blood glucose level increases insulin secretion and the insulin increased the transport of glucose into the liver, muscle and other cells, thereby causing a reduction of the blood glucose concentration back towards the normal value.

This mode of signalling is called negative feedback mechanism.
