Pancreas. Note the exocrine pancreas and the Islets of Langerhan’s also known as the Pancreatic Islets. Which part of the pancreas is endocrine? Label the two cells of the Pancreatic Islet: the alpha and beta cells (you cannot tell them apart unless especially stained). Also, include the delta cells. They produce somatostatin. What does this hormone do?
Chemical classification of hormones. Give exact examples and compare hydrophobic and hydrophylic hormones. Include the criteria: way of transportation in the bloodstream, receptor location, the need for secondary messenger (with justification), final effect upon the enzymes, type of enzyme activity regulation (fast or slow).
Insulin - For the hormone Insulin (in humans) what is;
1. the origin (gland that secretes the hormone)
2. action of the hormone
3. source of control (how is the hormone regulated

HbA1c is a glycated hemoglobin in which a glucose molecule is covalently bound to the N-terminal valine of a hemoglobin subunit. True False 3.
