Worked practice questions
Which pancreatic cells produce somatostatin?
- Alpha cells
- Acinar cells
- Delta cells
- Beta cells
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Delta cells
Delta cells in the pancreatic islets produce somatostatin.
Low levels of which blood substance stimulate parathyroid hormone release?
- High body temperature
- High blood glucose
