PATHOLOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Beta cells in the pancreatic islets secrete the hormone insulin in response to a high concentration of glucose in the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endocrine component of the pancreas consists of islet cells (islets of Langerhans) that create and release important hormones directly into the bloodstream. Two of the main pancreatic hormones are insulin, which acts to lower blood sugar, and glucagon, which acts to raise blood sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alpha-cells secrete glucagon hormone. Beta-cells of pancreatic islets secrete insulin hormone. Delta-cells of pancreatic islets secrete Somatostatin hormone.
