Question

Which human organ contains the 'Islets of Langerhans?'

A.

The gall bladder

B.

The pancreas

C.

The brain

D.

The liver

Correct option is B


The correct answer is (b) The pancreas.
· The Islets of Langerhans are clusters of cells located in the pancreas.
· These clusters contain several types of cells, including alpha cells that produce glucagon, beta cells that produce insulin, delta cells that produce somatostatin, and PP cells that produce pancreatic polypeptide.
· The hormones secreted by the Islets of Langerhans play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and overall metabolism.
Information Booster:
· The gall bladder: A small organ that stores bile produced by the liver, aiding in digestion, particularly of fats.
· The brain: The central organ of the nervous system, responsible for processing sensory information and controlling bodily functions, but not related to the Islets of Langerhans.
· The liver: A vital organ involved in metabolism, detoxification, and bile production, but it does not contain the Islets of Langerhans.
