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: -Some of the hormone-producing cells in the pancreas, the beta cells, produce insulin when they are stimulated by sugar.
Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by the cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and maintains normal blood glucose levels by facilitating cellular glucose uptake, regulating carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism and promoting cell division and growth through its mitogenic effects.
Detailed explanation-4: -Physiological Functions of the Pancreas Endocrine activity is performed by the Langerhans islets and involves the production of hormones such as insulin, proinsulin, amylin, C-peptide, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide (PP), and glucagon. Insulin helps to lower blood sugar, and glucagon causes blood sugar to rise.
