Not to be confused with the cells of the islets of Langerhans, found in the pancreas, or Langhans giant cell.
Delta cells make up 5% of the pancreatic cells in the Islets of Langerhans and are located variably in the area and release somatostatin, produce somatostatin, which acts within the islets of Langerhan to inhibit the production of both glucagon and insulin, slows GI motility, allowing more time for food to be absorbed.istology of Pancreatic Islets of Langerhans. 1-two million Islets in human 2- in the islets the cells are arranged in irregular chains and cords separated by a rich blood supply; 3- cells in islets: alpha cells (70%) secrete insulin and beta cells(20%) secrete glucagon.
