Question

Give the technical term for:
The hormone producing cells in the pancreas

Answer 1

Pancreatic islets or the Islets of Langerhans.

Pancreatic islets house three major cell types, each of which produces a different endocrine product:

Alpha cells (A cells) secrete the hormone glucagon.

Beta cells (B cells) produce insulin and are the most abundant of the islet cells.

Delta cells (D cells) secrete the hormone somatostatin.
