The hormone insulin is produced by which organ?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Vitamin D is essential for the body's ability to absorb calcium from the diet. It promotes the absorption of calcium in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D is obtained from exposure to sunlight, dietary sources (such as fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and eggs), and supplements. It is converted in the skin to its active form, calcitriol, which facilitates calcium absorption in the intestines.

If the answer was the liver, I'd be insulin-ted. Get it? Insulin? Insulted? Ah, tough crowd.

Ah, the liver. The Swiss Army knife of organs. But not this time, my friend. It's got to be the pancreas.

I always thought the liver did everything, but I guess the pancreas has its own important job.

The thyroid? That's just silly. I'd be worried if the exam had options like 'the spleen' or 'the big toe'.

Hmm, the kidney? Really? I think I need to brush up on my endocrinology before taking this exam.

No, not the kidney. Insulin is actually produced by the pancreas.

I'm not sure, but I'll go with C) Pancreas as well. It makes sense since insulin is related to blood sugar regulation.
