Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above.

1. The pancreas - functions as exocrine + endocrine gland. - has 2 groups of cell in the pancreas. - α & β-cells in the islet of Langerhans play (major role in blood glucose concdntration). - α-cells - secrete glucagons - β-cells - secrete insulin into blood capillaries. α & β-cells in the islet of Langerhans 2. Blood glucose level rises↑à due to carbohydrate breakdown. 3. Insulin + glucagons have opposite effects. 4. Insulin: - secreted by β-cells (when glucose↑ level increases)…
