Question

List the four hormones secreted by the pancreas. Briefly mention their functions and cell types from which they are secreted

Answer 1

Hormone secreted by pancreas are

1. GLUCACON - secretion occurs by alhpa cell. Increase blood glucose level by splitting of glycogen and also inhibit absorption of glucose by cell.

2. INSULIN- secreted by beta cell. Reduce blood glucose level by enhance absorption of glucose by cells and glucose convert in to glycogen by liver cell.

3.SOMATOSTATIN - secreted by delta cell . When level of insulin and glucagon become too high then somatostatin secretion occurs and maintain balance.

4.VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE(VIP)-

Control water absorption and secretion from the intestine through the stimulating intestinal epithelial cell to release water and salt in the intestine.
