Question

What is the function of insulin in the human body?

A.

It regulates how the body uses and stores glucose and fat.

B.

It supplies filtered blood to the heart.

C.

It supplies oxygen to the lungs.

D.

It regulates the flow of blood.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) It regulates how the body uses and stores glucose and fat.

Explanation:
Insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels and helps the body use and store glucose and fat for energy.

Information Booster:

  • Insulin helps manage blood sugar levels, crucial for energy regulation.
  • Diabetes occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin or use it properly.
  • The pancreas plays a vital role in both the endocrine (hormone secretion) and digestive systems.

Additional Information:

  • It supplies filtered blood to the heart – This is the role of the circulatory system, not insulin.
  • It supplies oxygen to the lungs – This is the role of the respiratory system, not insulin.
  • It regulates the flow of blood – This is the role of the cardiovascular system, not insulin.
