Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon, which have antagonistic actions in regulating sugar metabolism. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake and storage of glucose in cells, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by promoting the breakdown of stored glucose (glycogen) in the liver and the production of glucose by the liver.
