Glucose controls the secretion of hormone in certain endocrine cells found in the

Answer 1

Pancreas

Step-by-step explanation:

• Islets of Langerhans of the pancreatic islets are the endocrine cells that are found in the pancreas.
• These are known as endocrine cells because they secrete hormones.
• There are two types of islet - alpha and beta.
• The alpha cells are responsible for the secretion of the hormone glucagon and the beta cells for the secretion of insulin.
• The release of hormones from either the beta or alpha cells is regulated by the blood glucose levels.
• If the level of glucose in the blood is low glucagon is released and if the glucose level is high then insulin is released.
