Question 19

Hormonal Coordination

Which of the following is not a function of insulin?

  1. A.Accelerates the rate at which glucose is converted to glycogen
  2. B.Promotes the uptake of glucose by tissues
  3. C.Regulates the amount of glucose in the blood
  4. D.Accelerates the absorption of glucose at the glomerulus
  5. E.Stimulates muscles to oxidise glucose
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D (Accelerates the absorption of glucose at the glomerulus)

Explanation

Insulin acts on liver, muscle and other body cells; glucose is reabsorbed in the kidney tubules, not at the glomerulus, and insulin does not control that.
