The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is/are NOT secretions of the islets of Langerhans, we need to analyze the hormones produced by these pancreatic cells. The options given are glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, and androgen. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Islets of Langerhans**: - The islets of Langerhans are clusters of cells in the pancreas that produce hormones. They consist of different types of cells, including alpha, beta, delta, F cells, and epsilon cells. 2. **Identifying Hormones Produced**: - **Alpha Cells**: Produce glucagon. - **Beta Cells**: Produce insulin. - **Delta Cells**: Produce somatostatin. - **F Cells**: Produce pancreatic polypeptide. - **Epsilon Cells**: Produce ghrelin (the hunger hormone). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Glucagon**: Produced by alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans. - **Insulin**: Produced by beta cells of the islets of Langerhans. - **Somatostatin**: Produced by delta cells of the islets of Langerhans. - **Androgen**: This is not produced by the islets of Langerhans; it is produced by the adrenal cortex and is involved in male sexual characteristics. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, glucagon, insulin, and somatostatin are all secretions of the islets of Langerhans, while androgen is not. Therefore, the correct answer is **androgen**. ### Final Answer: The secretion that is NOT produced by the islets of Langerhans is **androgen** (Option D). ---
