Which part of pancreas produce and secrete insulin?
Question

Which part of pancreas produce and secrete insulin?

A.

Glomerulus

B.

Bowman’s capsule

C.

Islets of Langerhans

D.

Loop of Henle

Correct option is C


Sol. Islets of Langerhans are specialized clusters of endocrine cells in the pancreas. The beta cells in these islets secrete insulin to regulate blood glucose levels.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Glomerulus – A part of the kidney, involved in the filtration of blood to form urine, not related to insulin.
· (b) Bowman’s capsule – Also part of the kidney; it surrounds the glomerulus and collects filtrate, not linked to pancreas or insulin.
· (c) Islets of Langerhans – Correct answer. These are endocrine cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, glucagon, and other hormones.
· (d) Loop of Henle – A nephron segment in the kidney that concentrates urine; has no role in insulin production.
