Key Points
- Diabetes is primarily associated with the pancreas, which plays a key role in insulin production. Hence, option 4 is correct.
- The pancreas contains beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans, which produce insulin—a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
- In diabetes, the pancreas either:
- Fails to produce enough insulin (Type 1 Diabetes), or
- The body becomes resistant to insulin (Type 2 Diabetes).
Additional Information
- Gall bladder: Related to bile storage and gallstones, not diabetes.
- Liver: Involved in glucose metabolism but not the direct cause of diabetes.
- Kidney: Diabetes damages kidneys over time (diabetic nephropathy), but the disease originates in the pancreas.
