Regulated Secretion

NDSU Virtual Cell Animations Project animation 'Regulated Secretion'. For more information please see vcell.ndsu.edu/animations.
Proteins can be secreted, or transferred out of a cell, by multiple pathways. Regulated secretion is one of these processes. In regulated secretion proteins are secreted from a cell in large amounts when a specific signal is detected by the cell. The example used in this animation is the release of insulin after a glucose signal enters a pancreatic beta cell.

Perfect, couldn't have said it better myself.

Diabetes is caused by the inability of the body to utilise the glucose that is in the curculation. This could be the result of: 1, The pancreas doesn't secrete any insulin, and the insulin is the hormone that triggers the utilization of glucose by the certain cells, like muscle, fat; or 2. The said cells do not respond to insulin, due to malfunction of the insulin cell-signaling pathway.

what about Cl- channels in beta cell ? what do they do
