Which one of the following statements is incorrect ?

Which one of the following statements is incorrect ?

Options

  1. Aβ\beta-cells of pancreas secrete insulin
  2. Bα\alpha-cells of pancreas secrete glucagon
  3. Cα\alpha-cells of pancreas secrete insulin
  4. DGlucagon stimulates glycogenolysis

Correct answer

C. α\alpha-cells of pancreas secrete insulin

Step-by-step solution

The pancreas contains Islets of Langerhans, which have two main types of cells: α\alpha-cells and β\beta-cells.

The α\alpha-cells secrete the hormone glucagon, which increases blood glucose levels by stimulating glycogenolysis.

The β\beta-cells secrete the hormone insulin, which decreases blood glucose levels.

Therefore, the statement that α\alpha-cells secrete insulin is incorrect.

Answer: α\alpha-cells of pancreas secrete insulin
