Elevated levels of glucose in the blood plasma trigger the release of insulin from the pancreas. The neurotransmitter directly responsible for insulin release is:
A. Norepinephrine.
B. Epinephrine.
C. Acetycholine
D. Glucagon
The answer is choice C. I thought it was epinephrine though. In the explanation it says that although epinephrine increases insulin secretion, is a hormone and not a neurotransmitter. But on wikipedia it lists epinephrine as a neurotransmitter as well...which is it?
