Vedclass · Answer

(C) The pancreas acts as both an exocrine and an endocrine gland.The endocrine part of the pancreas consists of clusters of cells known as the Islets of Langerhans.These islets contain different types of cells,including $\alpha$-cells,$\beta$-cells,and $\delta$-cells.The $\alpha$-cells secrete glucagon,while the $\beta$-cells secrete insulin.Therefore,insulin is secreted by the $\beta$-cells of the Islets of Langerhans.
