Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the role of insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells.
Identify the organ system responsible for hormone production and regulation. The endocrine system is primarily responsible for producing and releasing hormones, including insulin.
Consider the organs involved in the endocrine system. The pancreas is a key organ within this system that produces insulin.
Recognize the interaction between the endocrine system and other systems. While the digestive system processes nutrients, the endocrine system regulates the release of insulin in response to blood glucose levels.
