MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Insulin is then released from the pancreas into the bloodstream so that it can reach different parts of the body. Insulin has many effects but mainly it controls how the body uses carbohydrates found in certain types of food. Carbohydrates are broken down by the human body to produce a type of sugar called glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pancreatic -cell plays a key role in glucose homeostasis by secreting insulin, the only hormone capable of lowering the blood glucose concentration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Insulin is essential in maintaining normal blood glucose levels and is produced and secreted by the beta cells of pancreas in response to increased blood glucose levels.
