INTRODUCTION:-
Pancreas is a composite gland which acts as both exocrine and endocrine gland.
The endocrine pancreas consists of islets of langerhansi.
There are about 1to 2 million islets of langerhans in a normal human pancreas representing only one to two percent of pancreatic tissue.

The two main types of cells in the islet of langarhans are called Alpha -cells and beta – cells
The alpha – cells secret a hormone called glucagon while the beta cells secret insulin.
Glucagon is a peptide hormone and play an important role in maintaining the normal blood glucose levels.

Glucagon acts mainly on the liver cells and stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in an increased blood sugar hyperglycemia.

Endocrine glands lack ducts and hence are called ductless glands.
Their secretions are called hormones.
The classical definition of hormone as a chemical produced by endocrine glands and released into the blood and transported to a distantly located target organ has current scientific definition as follows:-
Hormones are non – nutrient chemical which acts as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts.

The endocrine glands and hormone producing diffused tissues/ cells located in different parts of our body constitute the endocrine system.

Pituitary ,pineal, thyroid, adrenal , pancreas , parathyroid , thymus and gonàds are the endocrine bodies in our body.

The pituitary gland is located in a Bony cavity called sella tursica and is attached to thalamus by a stalk.It is divided anatomically into an adenohypophysis and neurophysis.

Adenohypophysis consists of two portions ,pars distalis and para intermedia.

The pars distalis region of pituitary, commonly called anterior pituitary produces , growth hormone (GH) , Prolactin (PRL) , thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),
adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) , luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

Pars intermedia secrets only one hormone called melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH).

Neurohypophysis also known as posterior pituitary, stores and release two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin ,which are actually synthesized by the hypothalamus and are transported axonally to neurohypophysis.
