Question

Which of the following option is correct for correctly matched pairs for Column I and Column II.

Column I	Column II
(i) $\rho$ - cells	(a) It stimulates glycogenolysis
(ii) $\beta$ - cells	(b) It secrete somatostatin
(iii) a - cells	(c) Increases cellular glucose uptake and utilisation
	(d) Rise in blood pressure and blood volume

• A. i - c, ii - d, iii - a
• B. i - d, ii - c, iii - b
• C. i - b, ii - c, iii - a
• D. i - b, ii - d, iii - a

Answer 1

The correct option is C i - b, ii - c, iii - a

The pancreas has islet of Langerhans cell that possesses alpha, beta, delta and F cells. Delta cells secrete somatostatin that inhibits the secretion of both insulin and glucagon hormones. Beta cells secrete insulin that helps in the utilization of blood sugar (cellular glucose). Alpha cells secrete glucagon hormone that acts on glycogen during starvation condition and converts them into glucose. the process of breakdown of glycogen is called as glycogenolysis. Thus, the correct answer is 'i - b, ii - c, iii - a'.
