The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "The endocrine part of human pancreas is represented by alpha and beta cells." - The pancreas has two main functions: an exocrine function (which involves the secretion of digestive enzymes) and an endocrine function (which involves the secretion of hormones). - The endocrine part of the pancreas consists of clusters of cells known as the islets of Langerhans, which contain alpha cells and beta cells. - Alpha cells produce glucagon, while beta cells produce insulin, both of which are hormones that regulate blood sugar levels. **Conclusion for Step 1:** The assertion is true. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Endocrine glands have ducts." - Endocrine glands are characterized as ductless glands. They do not have ducts and release hormones directly into the bloodstream. - In contrast, exocrine glands do have ducts and secrete their products (like enzymes) through these ducts to specific sites. **Conclusion for Step 2:** The reason is false. ### Step 3: Combine the Conclusions - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. Therefore, the correct relationship between the assertion and reason is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The correct answer is that the assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---
