Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alpha cells in the pancreatic islets produce glucagon, while beta cells produce insulin. Delta cells produce the peptide hormone somatostatin, which inhibits the release of both insulin and glucagon. Pancreatic polypeptide cells produce pancreatic polypeptide hormone, which is involved in regulating food intake and digestion, but not glucose metabolism. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
