which of the statements is false? the actions of both the beta and alpha cells in the pancreas are stimulated or inhibited by the amount of glucose they detect in the blood as it passes through the pancreas. in the pancreas, the action of the beta cells opposes the action of the alpha cells in regulating blood glucose levels. the pancreas releases glucagon into the blood in response to low blood sugar and releases insulin into the blood in response to high blood sugar. high blood glucose levels can result from an overproduction of insulin.
