Nuclear power refers to the application of nuclear reactions, which discharge nuclear energy to produce heat and is most generally utilized in steam turbines to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear energy can be obtained from nuclear decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion reactions.  

The controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is attained by controlling the fission without controlling a chain reaction. If a chain reaction occurs, then the amount of energy would increase exponentially, so in order to monitor the release of energy, fission must be controlled without controlling a chain reaction.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, enteroendocrine cells.

Explanation:

The specialized cells of the pancreas and the gastrointestinal tract exhibiting endocrine function are termed as enteroendocrine cells. These cells generate gastrointestinal peptides or hormones in response to a distinct kind of stimuli and discharge them into the bloodstream for the systemic effect. These are the most varied endocrine cells found within the body.  

The intestinal enteroendocrine cells produce somatostatin, cholecystokinin, motilin, enteroglucagon, and neurotensin hormones. The G cells present within the intestine produce gastrin. In the gastric glands, the gastric enteroendocrine cells are present, which produce histamine, and others like cholecystokinin, alpha and gamma-endorphin, somatostatin, and others.  

In the islets of Langerhans, the pancreatic enteroendocrine cells are present, which produce hormones like ghrelin, amylin, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide.
