In which clusters of the pancreas are insulin-producing beta cells found?
Show answer
Islets of Langerhans
These clusters of cells, also known as the Islets of Langerhans, make up only about 1-2% of the pancreas's total mass. Despite their small size, they are vital for regulating blood sugar levels by secreting hormones directly into the bloodstream.
