GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The main hormones secreted by the endocrine gland in the pancreas are insulin and glucagon, which regulate the level of glucose in the blood, and somatostatin, which prevents the release of insulin and glucagon.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of the pancreas is to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It is a large gland located behind the stomach. It produces insulin, glucagon, and other hormones.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endocrine cells of the pancreas Groups of endocrine cells are found throughout the pancreas. They are called islets of Langerhans because they are scattered like small islands (“islets”) and were discovered by the pathologist Paul Langerhans. These groups of cells produce insulin, glucagon and other hormones.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
