Answer: Insulin helps your body turn blood sugar (glucose) into
energy. It also helps your body store it in your muscles, fat cells, and
liver to use later, when your body needs it. After you eat, your blood
sugar (glucose) rises. This rise in glucose triggers your pancreas to
release insulin into the bloodstream.
◉ Which organ is responsible for the secretion of insulin?
Answer: pancreas
