A 3D model of an islet of Langerhans, the endocrine cell clusters scattered throughout the pancreas. The islet contains alpha cells (producing glucagon) at the periphery and beta cells (producing insulin) in the center, along with smaller populations of delta cells (somatostatin) and PP cells (pancreatic polypeptide). The islets of Langerhans constitute only 1 to 2 percent of pancreatic mass but regulate blood glucose homeostasis. Beta cell dysfunction or destruction leads to diabetes mellitus. The rich blood supply allows rapid hormone secretion in response to blood glucose changes. Islet anatomy is studied in endocrinology, diabetes research, and histology. Medical advisory board reviewed. Ready for rendering, real-time, and 3D printing.
