Study the diagram given below and answer the following questions:



(i) Name the pancreatic cells which produce (1) glucagon and (2) insulin.
(ii) State the main function of (1) glucagon and (2) insulin.
(iii) Why is the pancreas referred to as an exo-endocrine gland?
(iv) Why is insulin not given orally but is injected into the body
(v) What is the technical term for the cells of the pancreas which produce endocrine hormones? 
(vi) Where in the body is the pancreas located?


(i) The pancreatic cells which produce
(1) Glucagon: alpha cells.
(2) Insulin: beta cells.

(ii)
Glucagon stimulates the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in the liver and raises the blood sugar level.

Insulin controls the high blood sugar level in the body. It promotes the glucose
utilisation by the body and the conversion of glucose into glycogen in the liver to
maintain the normal sugar level.

(iii) The pancreas contains exocrine glands, which are duct glands, secreting pancreatic
juice in the small intestine which helps in digestion. On the other hand, it also
contains islets of Langerhans which are endocrine glands secreting insulin, glucagon
and somatostatin. Therefore, the pancreas is referred to as an exo-endocrine gland.

(iv) Insulin is a hormone and is proteinaceous in nature. If taken orally, it may be degraded n the stomach by digestive juice and will have no affect, so it is not taken orally.

(v) Islets of Langerhans is the technical term for the cells of the pancreas which produce endocrine hormones.

(vi) Pancreas is located in the abdomen, between the stomach and the small intestine.
