The metabolism of glucose is regulated by a complex orchestration of hormones. All of the following endocrine products increase blood glucose concentration except

Glucagon is secreted by

Assertion. Insulin and glucagon have the antagonistic effects on the blood-glucose level. Reason. Insulin lowers the blood-glucose level by causing its storage in the liver and consumption in the tissues. Glucagon raises the blood-glucose level by convertin liver glycogen into blood-glucose and changing amino acids and fats into glucose.

Following are events taking place for blood glucose regulation - (i) increase in blood glucose (ii) increase in circulating from glucagon (iii) release of glucose from glycogen (iv) decrease in blood glucose level Select the option depicting the correct sequence of these events.

In this sectin each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet. S1 : Hormones have several functions in the body. S6 : The two hormones together regulate the glucose level in the blood. P : They help to maintain the balance of biological activities in the body. Q : Insulin is released in response to the rapid rise in blood glucose level. R : On the other hand hormone glucagon tends to increase the glucose level in the blood. S : The role of insulin in keeping the blood glucose level within the narrow limit is an example of this function. The correct sequence should be

Assertion: Catecholamines increases the concentration of glucose in blood. Reson: Catecholamines stimulates the glycogenolysis.
