The Endocrine Pancreas - Insulin, Glucagon & Somatostatin

Dive into a comprehensive 22-minute biology lecture exploring the endocrine pancreas and its crucial hormones: insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin. Learn about the structure and function of the islets of Langerhans, including the roles of alpha, beta, and delta cells. Gain valuable insights into pancreatic anatomy, histology, physiology, and biochemistry, essential for MCAT, DAT, and NEET exam preparation. Understand how insulin is produced by beta cells, glucagon is secreted by alpha cells, and somatostatin is released by delta cells, and discover their intricate interplay in maintaining metabolic balance.
