Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon is secreted in response to hypoglycemia, not hyperglycemia like insulin. Insulin, on the other hand, is secreted in response to hyperglycemia to lower blood glucose levels. PTH is secreted in response to low levels of blood calcium, while calcitonin is secreted in response to high levels of blood calcium.
