Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each of the hormones has distinct functions. Glucagon increases blood glucose levels, whereas insulin decreases them. Somatostatin inhibits both, glucagon and insulin release, 6 whereas PP regulates the exocrine and endocrine secretion activity of the pancreas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most important hormone that the pancreas produces is insulin. Insulin is released by the ‘beta cells’ in the islets of Langerhans in response to food. Its role is to lower glucose levels in the bloodstream and promote the storage of glucose in fat, muscle, liver and other body tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -Under normal conditions, the pancreatic hormone insulin triggers the uptake of glucose by muscle and fat cells.
