TestHub · Accepted Answer

The pancreas is a composite gland which acts as both an exocrine and an endocrine gland.

The endocrine pancreas consists of Islets of Langerhans, which contain different types of cells:
$α$ cells secrete the hormone glucagon.
$β$ cells secrete the hormone insulin.
$δ$ cells secrete the hormone somatostatin.

The exocrine portion consists of acinar cells which secrete pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes such as nucleases, proteases, amylases, and lipases.

Therefore, the correct matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I).

Answer: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
