The islets of Langerhans are microorgans located in the pancreas.

<h3>The islets of Langerhans </h3>

The islets are formed by polygonal or rounded cells, arranged in cords, around which there is an abundant network of blood capillaries with fenestrated endothelial cells.

<h3>Types of islets of Langerhans</h3>
  1. Alpha (A) cells: secrete glucagon. In humans, these cells have regular-shaped granules containing a dense center surrounded by a clear region under the membrane.
  2. Beta (B) cells: secrete insulin and amylin. B cells have irregular granules with a center formed of irregular crystals of insulin complexed with zinc.
  3. Delta cells (D): synthesize somatostatin.
  4. PP (F) cells: contain a pancreatic polypeptide.

With this information, we can conclude that the islets of Langerhans are microorgans that constitute a large production of products for the maintenance of life.
