Question

Which harmone is produced by Islets of langerhans to control diabetes mellitus?

A.

Ptyalin

B.

HCl

C.

Rennin

D.

Insulin

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Insulin.
· Insulin is the hormone produced by the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels in the body.
· Insulin helps cells in the body absorb glucose from the blood, reducing the blood sugar level and providing energy to the cells.
· Diabetes mellitus is a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. In Type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin, whereas in Type 2 diabetes, the body's cells become resistant to insulin.
· Insulin therapy is often used to manage diabetes by maintaining blood glucose levels within the normal range.
Information Booster:
· Ptyalin: An enzyme (also known as salivary amylase) present in saliva that begins the digestion of starch into simpler sugars in the mouth.
· HCl (Hydrochloric Acid): Produced in the stomach, it aids in digestion by creating an acidic environment for enzymes like pepsin to break down proteins.
· Rennin: An enzyme produced in the stomach of young mammals (such as calves) to help in the digestion of milk by coagulating casein.
