4.4.1 POJA-L3559+3558+3555
Title: Endocrine cell types in islet of Langerhans in pancreas (rat)
Description: (A, B and C): Electron micrographs of α-, β- and δ-cells.
The two main cells (1) in (A, and B) represent the endocrine delta cells that produce somatostatin. Their granules are less electron-dense (grey) and homogenous without a clear halo.
(2) (in A, C) shows the granules of the alpha cells that contain glucagon. Their granules are electron-dense and are surrounded with a clear halo.
The granules (3) in (A, C) produce insulin that is structured in crystalloid form surrounded by a large halo.
Keywords/Mesh: pancreas, endocrine, α-cells, β-cells, δ-cells, electron microscopy, histology, POJA collection
