In the pancreas, a leaf-shaped organ near the duodenoum, there are special cells called the Islets of Langherhans, of which there are 4 types, the A cells secrete a hormone Glucagon which raises the blood glucose level . The B cells produce the hormone Insulin which lowers blood glucose level. The interaction of these two hormones regulates the blood glucose level.
