Answer 2

Answer:

Islets of Langerhans:

• The endocrine part of pancreas is made up of groups of cells present in the connective tissue between the acini. These are called as Islets of Langerhans.
• They are made up of alpha (a) cells and beta (B) cells.
• a cells secrete glucagon and ß cells secrete insulin.
• Both these hormones together control the blood sugar level.
• They also consist of delta cells which secrete somatostatin hormone, which decreases glucagon and insulin secretion.
