Solution
Pancreas:
The pancreas' endocrine part is made up of several little clusters of cells known as islets of Langerhans or simply islets.
A million islets make up a human's body.
The three principal cell types secreted by pancreatic islet houses are alpha, beta, and delta cells.
Different endocrine products are produced by these cells.
Exocrine glands produce enzymes and other metabolites into ducts, whereas endocrine glands emit their secretions directly into the bloodstream, such as hormones.
