Insulin Producing Gland

 Insulin Producing

   Gland 'Pancrease'

Pancreas is an endocrine gland

Which means ductless gland 

Pancrease 

 Pancrease is like a Insulin Factory

The weight of pancrease is only  225grams

In this factory there are 3 types of workers

(cells)

Alpha

Beta

Delta

All these workers work for day and night

24hours. Most  important function of 

Insulin is carried out by beta workers.

Total beta workers are 80lak to 1core.

 These beta workers measure blood

Sugar every 10 to 15 seconds.

The appropriate needed insulin is produced.

By Beta workers.

If too much insulin is produced it could be dangerous as below 40mg% sugar

Brain cannot function .

To control this situation 

There are Alpha workers which produce

Hormone called Glucagon.To produce 

Glucose from glycogen.

   Type I Diabetes is a diabetes seen In children

It is 10% of the total diabetes .

.

Cytomegalovirus  destroy beta workers

In this situation insulin production is stopped

Requires insulin injections throughout  the

Life.

Type 2 diabetes when around.  50 %beta  workers damage 

Results in  almost 90% total diabetics  this type 

Found in  adults.

These patients can respond to oral diabetic

Medicines and some time may be insulin.

Lastly there are Delta workers in

Pancrease which produce harmone 

Called somatostatin the job of these

Workers is to  produce this harmone

As an inhibitor for insulin and glucagon.
