Where is the islets of Langerhans located?
The Islets of Langerhans are pockets of endocrine cells in the pancreas. These cells produce glucagon and insulin. They are located near the small intestine.The Islets of Langerhans are pockets of endocrine cells in the pancreas. These cells produce glucagon and insulin.Found in the pancreas, which is located partially behind the stomach in the abdomen, it contains ACINAR cells which are involved in the digestive system. As for Islets of Langerhans, which are also found in the pancreas, there are beta cells which secrete GLUCAGON and alpha cells which secrete INSULIN, beta cells are more prevalent. Insulin and glocagon are secreted in response to blood glucose levels.Langerhans cells are dendritic cells in the epidermis, containing large granules called Birbeck granules. They are normally present in lymph nodes and other organs, including the stratum spinosum layer of the epidermis. They can be found elsewhere, but sould not be confused with the pancreatic cells of the islets of Langerhans.
