I think you mean 'Islets of Langerhan.' They are found in the pancreas. They are made up of endocrine cells, producing hormones like insulin and glucagon. The rest of the pancreas is exocrine tissue.
No. Islets of Langerhans are found only in the pancreas and contain both alpha and beta cells. The kidneys contain nephrons as their functional unit which contains the loop of Henle.
Langerhans Cells
Langerhans cells are a subset of dendritic cells that reside in the epidermis (Part of the immune system). They have long dendrites (like arms) that capture antigen in the skin, and when they find an antigen, they migrate to lymph nodes and present to T cells allowing the adaptive immune system to respond.
They are tiny endocrine producing bodies in the human pancreas.
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.
Ryan Langerhans's birth name is Ryan David Langerhans.

Alpha cells in the islet of Langerhans produce glucagon and beta cells produce insulin. Islets of Langerhans are also known as pancreatic islets.
