Answer 1

The correct option is D Different cells

The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine systems of vertebrates.It is both exocrine; (secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes) and endocrine (producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin). The beta cells produce insulin, alpha cells produce glucagon and delta cells produce somatostatin. There are two main types of exocrine pancreatic cells, responsible for two main classes of secretions. The centroacinar cells produce bicarbonate ions and basophilic cells secrete digestive enzymes.
