Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The endocrinous part of the pancreatic gland of reptiles Lacerta agilis, Agama sanguinolenta, Varanus griseus, Testudo horsfieldi and Clemmus Caspica is formed by A-, B- and D-cells. The main form of its structural organization is pancreatic islands. In adition to them, remnants of the "external epithelium" are found in Varanus griseus and A-cells disposed outside of the pancreatic islands in Testudo horsfieldi and Clemmys caspica. As compared with amphibia, reptiles have a better developed counterinsular component (A-cells) of the endocrinous part of the pancreas. The acino-island cells of "A" and "D" types are also found in the pancreas of reptiles, "A"-type cells being predominant among them.
