It releases bile for fat digestion
It breaks down dietary proteins
It stores excess salt in tissues
Question 3: If the pancreas stops producing insulin, what immediate metabolic effect occurs?
Blood calcium drops sharply
Oxygen transport in blood stops
Immediate increase in white blood cells
Blood glucose rises because cells can't take up glucose
Question 4: Which cell type in the pancreas specifically produces insulin?
Acinar cells
Beta cells
Alpha cells
Delta cells
Question 5: How does the liver interact with insulin produced by the pancreas?
It transforms insulin into glucagon
It stores glucose as glycogen when signaled by insulin
It releases insulin into the bloodstream
It converts insulin into digestive enzymes

Rapid weight loss with very high blood sugars in a young person
Low blood sugar after skipping meals
High insulin levels measured with normal glucose

Question 7: A common myth: the liver produces the insulin you need. What's a simple fact that counters this myth?
Insulin is produced by gut bacteria
The liver stores insulin made in muscles
The spleen creates insulin during digestion
Insulin is made by pancreatic beta cells, not the liver
Question 8: Which medical treatment replaces the missing function when the pancreas cannot produce insulin?
Insulin therapy via injections or pumps
Statins to reduce blood sugar
