    Abstract

    Background An islet of Langerhans is a mass of polyhedral cells, located in the vicinity of fenestrated capillaries and a rich autonomic innervation. Though the numbers of islets in human pancreas is about or more than 1-2 millions, its distribution within the different parts of pancreas varies with maximum numbers present within the tail area. The beta cells are the most common and account for 50-80% of the cells in the islets. Beta cells mainly secrete insulin and alpha cells secret glucagon.
