Answer to Question 2

The endocrine cells of the pancreas include the alpha cells, which secrete glucagon and GLP-1 (glucagon-like-peptide); beta cells, which secrete insulin; delta cells, which secrete somatostatin; and the F cells, which secrete pancreatic polypeptide. These cells make up an anatomically small portion of the pancreas, but the hormones they secrete play a vital role in energy regulation and fuel homeostasis.
