What else can I help you with?
Which of these is not produced by pancreatic islet cells?
Insulin is not produced by pancreatic islet cells. It is produced by beta cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, while glucagon is produced by alpha cells and somatostatin is produced by delta cells in the pancreatic islets.
What are the four types of endocrine cell in pancreatic islets?
The four types of endocrine cells in the pancreatic islets, also known as the islets of Langerhans, are alpha cells, beta cells, delta cells, and pancreatic polypeptide cells. Alpha cells produce glucagon, which raises blood glucose levels; beta cells secrete insulin, lowering blood glucose levels; delta cells release somatostatin, which regulates the endocrine system and inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion; and pancreatic polypeptide cells produce pancreatic polypeptide, which is involved in regulating both endocrine and exocrine pancreatic function.
Are pancreatic stem cells a plant cell?
No, pancreatic stem cells are not plant cells. They are found in the pancreas of animals, including humans, and have the ability to differentiate into various cell types within the pancreas. Plant cells are specific to plants and differ in structure and function from animal cells.
Which type of pancreatic cells, specifically, help to lower blood sugar levels?
The pancreatic cells that help to lower blood sugar levels are called beta cells.
What do the the beta cells of the pancreatic islets do?
Insulin
Organelles found abundantly in pancreatic cells?
glucose ?
What is the root word pertaining to pancreatic islet cells?
insulo
How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
What does Pan stands for in Pan b cell marker?
Pan stands for "pancreatic" in Pan b cell marker, indicating that the marker is specific to pancreatic B cells. This marker helps researchers or clinicians identify and study these particular cells in pancreatic tissues or samples.
What is the exocrine portion of the pancreas composed of?
There are 2 main types: duct cells and acinar cells. The acinar cells synthesize the enzymatic component of pancreatic secretions (pancreatic lipase, pancreatic proteases, and pancreatic amylase). The duct cells secrete the the aqueous component, which is primarily bicarbonate, though the concentration changes with flow rate and stage of digestion (cephalic, gastric, intestinal).
What is the life span of a pancreatic cells?
I dont know cant find the answer any where and i need this answer for my biology essay
The release of insulin from pancreatic cells occurs by?
Exocytosis is the process used to release insulin from pancreatic cells into the bloodstream.
