Detailed explanation-1: -Histomorphology of Islets The adult pancreas consists of endocrine cells organized in islets of Langerhans (Fig 39.1C) and digestive acinar cells contained in clusters and draining into a centralized ductal system. Endocrine cells comprise less than 2% of the overall pancreatic mass in the adult pancreas.
Detailed explanation-2: -They consist mainly of beta cells, which secrete insulin, and alpha cells, which secrete glucagon.
Detailed explanation-3: -The islets of Langerhans contain four cell types that each secrete a different peptide: alpha cells secrete glucagon, beta cells secrete insulin, delta cells secrete somatostatin, and P (F) cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids are secreted by adrenal glands. In response to signals from a brain region called the hypothalamus, the adrenal glands secrete glucocorticoids, hormones that produce a response to stress.
