D
Somatostatin
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the role of the pancreas in hormone production. The pancreas produces hormones that regulate blood glucose levels, primarily insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin.
Step 2: Identify the hormones listed in the problem: Glucagon, Insulin, Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and Somatostatin.
Step 3: Recall that insulin lowers blood glucose by facilitating cellular uptake, glucagon raises blood glucose by stimulating glycogen breakdown, and somatostatin regulates the secretion of both insulin and glucagon within the pancreas.
Step 4: Recognize that Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the anterior pituitary gland, not the pancreas. TSH regulates the thyroid gland's production of thyroid hormones.
Step 5: Conclude that among the options, TSH is the hormone NOT produced by the pancreas.
