FIGURE 4.19 | Endocrine Gland: Pancreatic Islet
An example of an endocrine gland is illustrated as a pancreatic islet from the
pancreas. The pancreas is a mixed gland, containing both an exocrine portion
and endocrine portion. Here, the exocrine acini surround the endocrine
pancreatic islets (A and B).
The structure and function of other endocrine organs (glands) are presented
in greater detail in Chapter 19.
