Assignment The human body is made up of 100 trillion cells. All cells have the same basic structure (see figure 1) however some cells are specialised to suit a specific purpose. An example of this is the pancreatic beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans. These cells are specialised to synthesise the protein insulin that is involved in the metabolism of glucose in the cells. (Layden‚ 2010) Figure 1 - Picture to show basic structure of a cell. (Farrabee‚ M J. 2007) But how is insulin made? The production

guide in understanding how to write one!

Enzymes release the insulin from the larger proinsulin chain just before it is secreted from the beta cells. Insulin’s main function is to lower blood glucose levels by speeding up the membrane transport of glucose from the blood and into the body’s cells‚ for use for energy or conversion
