The following statements regarding to the pancreas and its function.

a. The pancreas is composed of two major types of tissues, (1) the acini, which secrete digestive juices into the duodenum, and (2) the islets of Langerhans, which secrete insulin and glucagon directly into the blood.

b. The islets contain three major types of cells, alpha, beta, and delta cells

c. The beta cells, constituting about 25 percent of all the cells of the islets, lie mainly in the middle of each islet and secrete insulin and amylin.

d. The alpha cells, about 60 percent of the total, secrete glucagon and the delta cells, about 10 percent of the total, secrete somatostatin.

The gene that is mutated in cases of cystic fibrosis encodes an ion transporter protein normally expressed in the respiratory and digestive tracts along with other locations. Individuals homozygous for the most common mutation in this gene (ΔF508) died at very early ages prior to the advent of advanced medical intervention. Despite this, the mutation exists at relatively high frequency in populations of European descent. One potential explanation is that heterozygotes for such mutations may be relatively immune to the lethal effects of diseases such as typhoid fever. Which statement below is most accurate?
