Q. Which one of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?
A) Insulin – Diabetes mellitus (disease)
B) Glucagon – Beta cells (source)
C) Somatostatin – Delta cells (source)
D) Corpus luteum – Relaxin (secretion)
Explanation
[Solution from source] Glucagon is secreted by the alpha (α) cells of the islets of Langerhans, while beta (β) cells secrete insulin, so this pair is wrong. Delta cells secrete somatostatin, the corpus luteum secretes relaxin, and insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus. Answer (2).
