Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is a hormone that is secreted by the pancreas in response to decreased blood glucose levels. Its main function is to increase blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and to release glucose into the bloodstream. B, C, and D are incorrect choices as glucagon does not have any role in regulating sodium and water balance, is not a steroid hormone, and is not a glucocorticoid.
