Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The Islets of Langerhans are the endocrine (hormone-producing) portions of the pancreas. They are clusters of cells scattered throughout the pancreatic tissue, comprising about 1-2% of the pancreas's mass. They contain several cell types, primarily alpha cells (secreting glucagon), beta cells (secreting insulin), delta cells (secreting somatostatin), and F cells (secreting pancreatic polypeptide). These hormones are crucial for regulating blood glucose levels.
