Title: Pancreatic islets
Content: Pancreatic islets The pancreatic islets or islets of Langerhans are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (hormone-producing) cells, discovered in 1869 by German pathological anatomist Paul Langerhans. The pancreatic islets constitute 1 to 2% of the pancreas volume and receive 10–15% of its blood flow. The pancreatic islets are arranged in density routes throughout the human pancreas, and are important in the metabolism of glucose. There are about 3 million islets distributed in the form of "density routes" throughout the pancreas of a healthy adult human, each of which measures an average of about 0.1 mm (109

Title: Paul Langerhans
Content: Paul Langerhans Paul Langerhans (25 July 1847 – 20 July 1888) was a German pathologist, physiologist and biologist, credited with the discovery of the cells that secrete insulin, named after him as the islets of Langerhans. Langerhans was born in Berlin on 25 July 1847, the son of a physician. He later entered the renowned Graues Kloster in the same city. Due to his outstanding performance he was exempted from the final oral examinations. He began his medical studies at the University of Jena and completed them in Berlin. In February 1869, he presented a thesis entitled “Contributions to the

Title: Ducie Island
Content: Islets are forested with "Heliotropium foertherianum", but Westward Islet is not. "Pemphis acidula" has also been recorded on Ducie; specimens were found during an expedition in 1991. During the expedition of Hugh Cuming in 1827 and the 1922 Whitney South Sea Expedition, "Lepturus" grass was found on Acadia Islet. However, it disappeared when storm waves deforested the island some time before the Smithsonian expedition of 1975. Thus "H. foertherianum" now dominates the vegetation of the islets. Additionally, there are a number of species of coralline algae, including "Porolithon onkodes", "Porolithon gardineri", and "Caulerpa racemosa". The atoll is populated by several

Content: at the International Court of Justice instead. The islets lie east of the Greek island Kalymnos, southeast of the Greek island of Kalolimnos, west of the Turkish peninsula of Bodrum, and from the Turkish islet of Çavuş Adası. The islets lie some 300 m apart from each other, eastern one being slightly larger than the western. Their total surface area is . The islands are also referred to as Limnia (Λίμνια) in Greek, or İkizce in Turkish, or as Heipethes in some early-20th century maps. While several other aspects of sovereignty rights in the Aegean, such as the territorial waters
