Question

multiple - choice question
the pancreas helps the body maintain homeostasis by controlling blood sugar levels. to do this, pancreas cells release hormones like insulin and glucagon into the blood. these hormones leave the cell when tiny sacs (vesicles) join with the cell membrane and push them out.
this release is an example of:
exocytosis.
endocytosis.
rewatch

Exocytosis is the process by which vesicles fuse with the cell - membrane to release substances outside the cell. In this case, insulin and glucagon are released from pancreas cells via exocytosis. Endocytosis is the opposite process, where substances are taken into the cell.

Answer:

exocytosis.
