The _________ cells of pancreatic islets produce insulin
a. alpha
b. beta
e. delta
d. F
Introduction:
A pancreatic islet is a cluster of cells in the pancreas. There are four types of cells in the pancreatic islet. They are the alpha cells, beta cells, delta cells, and F cells. They are concentrated in different locations in different proportions.
