Pancreatic islets produce hormones such as insulin and glucagon. Insulin helps to lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake by cells, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of glucose from the liver.
The major hormones produced by the pancreatic islet cells (and I assume you mean hormones, because they obviously also produce carbon dioxide and other wastes) are:
Alpha cells - insulin/amylin
Beta cells - glucagon
Delta cells - somatostatin
Pancreatic polypeptide cells - pancreatic polypeptide.
Pancreatic juice is a liquid secreted by the pancreas, which contains a variety of enzymes, including trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, elastase, carboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase, and amylase.
Pancreatic juice is an alkaline liquid secreted by the pancreas. The secretion of pancreatic juice is regulated by hormones.
Insulin, counteracts glucose (sugar, etc.) in the blood. Diabetics have an insulin deficiency and need to either inject insulin directly into themselves, or take pills for it.
Salivary glands secrete panreatic amylase, as well as salivary amylase.

Which of these is not produced by pancreatic islet cells?
Insulin is not produced by pancreatic islet cells. It is produced by beta cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, while glucagon is produced by alpha cells and somatostatin is produced by delta cells in the pancreatic islets.
What hormone do beta cells of the pancreatic islets produce?
Beta cells in the pancreatic islets produce insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy production. Insulin also helps to store excess glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscle cells for later use.
Which glands produce insulin?
In humans only the pancreas produces insulin. There are clusters of specialized cells in the pancreas called Islets of Langerhans. The cell type in the Islets that produce insulin are beta cells. (Other cell types in the Islets produce other hormones.)
Blood glucose lowering hormone is produce by pancreatic islet cells?
The hormone that lowers blood glucose levels is insulin, which is produced by beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it can be used for energy production or stored for later use. This helps to regulate blood sugar levels in the body.
Hormones produced by the pancreatic islets affect the body's use of?
Hormones produced by the pancreatic islets affect the body's use of glucose and regulate blood sugar levels. Specifically, insulin is responsible for lowering blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells for energy or storage, while glucagon raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of glucose from stores such as the liver.
What is the hormone of pancreatic islets?
pancreatine
What are Hormones produced by pancreatic islets?
Insulin is produced in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
What do the the beta cells of the pancreatic islets do?
Insulin
What is the flowing substance that comes out of the islets of langerhans?
Insulin is the hormone that is secreted by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It helps regulate blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy.
Which type of pancreatic cell produces insulin?
Insulin is a hormone that regulates carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle.
What gland controls blood sugar levels?
pancreatic islets
What Types of cells are in the pancreas?
The pancreas has several cell types. The pancreas forms these small pouches that are formed by acinar cells, which make the proteins and enzymes in pancreatic fluid. These pouches then lead into intercalated ducts. The first cells here are centroacinar cells, which secrete bicarbonate. The rest of the ducts are lined by duct cells that change the electrolytic composition of pancreatic fluid. The pancreas also contains Islets of Langerhan. Within these islets you can find beta cells(produce insulin), alpha cells(produce glucagon), delta cells(produce somatostatin), epsilon cells(produce ghrelin), and PP cells(produce pancreatic polypeptide). Hope that helps.
Which of these is not produced by pancreatic islet cells?
Insulin is not produced by pancreatic islet cells. It is produced by beta cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, while glucagon is produced by alpha cells and somatostatin is produced by delta cells in the pancreatic islets.
True or false- The beta cells of the pancreatic islets secrete glucagon in response to low blood sugar levels?
False. Beta cells of the pancreatic islets secrete insulin in response to high blood sugar levels, not glucagon. Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells in the pancreatic islets in response to low blood sugar levels to raise blood sugar levels.
In response to low blood sugar the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets secrete?
glucagon
Do the pancreatic islets secrete their hormones into the same duct system by the exocrine secretory cells?
No, the pancreatic islets, which contain endocrine cells secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, while the exocrine secretory cells secrete digestive enzymes into ducts that eventually empty into the small intestine.
Do the pancreatic islets secrete their hormones into the same duct system used by the exocrine secretory cells?
No
