The hormone insulin is a protein produced in the pancreas and then secreted into the blood stream after a meal to increase glucose uptake by tissues. What cellular process is used to secrete insulin from the pancreas?

They are secreted from pancreatic cell through exocytosis.

Explanation:

Beta cells of the pancreas are responsible for the synthesis and release of insulin in the blood. Insulin is released in the blood when the blood glucose level reaches above the normal blood glucose level.

Once the beta cells are insulated the insulin is released from the cell by the process of exocytosis and reaches to blood capillaries of islets. Insulin is made up of A and B chain when released in the blood but in proinsulin, a C chain is also present which is released in mature insulin.

Therefore exocytosis is responsible for releasing insulin from the Beta-cell of the pancreas.
