PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: False. The exocrine portion of the pancreas consists of the acinar cells which secrete digestive enzymes and act to digest food at their site of release. The endocrine protion of the pancreas consists of the islet cells which produce and release hormones into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pancreatic acinar cell is the functional unit of the exocrine pancreas. It synthesizes, stores, and secretes digestive enzymes. Under normal physiological conditions, digestive enzymes are activated only once they have reached the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The present research clarified the presence of four major endocrine cells, namely, insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and PP cells in the islets of Langerhans and inter-acinar cells of the exocrine part.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endocrine part of the pancreas is called Islet of Langerhans. The pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon from the endocrine part called islet of Langerhans and it secretes trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase and pancreatic lipase from its exocrine part.
