Beta cells (Î²-cells). Beta cells are a type of cell in the pancreas located in the so-called islets of Langerhans. They make up 65-80% of the cells in the islets. The Islets diameter is about 50 to 300 micrometers. They are composed of several types of cells. At least 70 percent are beta cells, which are localized in the core of the islet.
The pancreas produces and secretes digestive enzymes which break down carbohydrates (amylase) and fats (lipase).  The beta cells of the pancreas also make insulin which helps control blood glucose levels and allows glucose to enter the cells to be used for energy.Pancreas: Function The pancreas is a small organ, approximately six inches long, located in the upper abdomen, and adjacent to the small intestine.The beta cells of the pancreas also make insulin which helps control blood glucose levels and allows glucose to enter the cells to be used for energy.
