Vedclass · Answer

(A) Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by the $\beta$-cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It plays a major role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis in the blood. Insulin acts mainly on hepatocytes and adipocytes and enhances cellular glucose uptake and utilisation. As a result,there is a rapid movement of glucose from the blood to hepatocytes and adipocytes,resulting in decreased blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia). Therefore,insulin is called a hypoglycemic hormone. Since the reason explains why insulin is hypoglycemic,both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$A$. Alpha cells	$I$. Stimulates muscles for glycogenesis.
$B$. Beta cells	$II$. Decreases gastric secretions and absorption in digestive tract.
$C$. Delta cells	$III$. Inhibits the release of pancreatic juice.
$D$. $F$ cells	$IV$. Stimulates liver for glycogenolysis.

Assertion $(A):$ Insulin is a hypoglycemic hormone.
Reason $(R):$ Insulin increases the cellular uptake and utilisation of glucose.
