A) Cells in the pancreas do indeed sense the level of glucose in the blood, and this is an important step in the regulation of insulin secretion. 
B) Depending on the level of glucose in the blood, the pancreas will either secrete insulin or stop the secretion of insulin. This is a key aspect of glucose homeostasis and thus a correct choice. 
C) Nerve impulses do play a role in insulin release, but this is not the only factor involved. Thus, this choice is not completely accurate. 
D) While the pancreas can react to other hormones, this is not a central aspect of the regulation of insulin secretion. Therefore, this choice is incorrect. 
E) Insulin secretion is not regulated by hormone levels within other digestive system organs. Therefore, this choice is incorrect.
