What Organ is Stimulated by Insulin, Released by the Pancreas

Question

What organ is stimulated by insulin, released by the pancreas, to convert glucose into glycogen?
A) stomach
B) gallbladder
C) liver
D) brain

Accepted Answer

The organ that is stimulated by insulin to convert glucose into glycogen is the liver, making choice C the correct answer. The pancreas releases insulin in response to high levels of glucose in the blood, which signals the liver to take up glucose and convert it into glycogen for storage. The stomach and gallbladder are not directly involved in glucose metabolism, and while the brain does use glucose as a source of energy, it is not responsible for converting glucose into glycogen.
