28.   The immune system, possibly in response to a childhood infection, attacks islet cells in the pancreas, making them unable to produce insulin.

29.   The isletlike structures produced insulin when exposed to glucose.

30.   The pancreas is a gland behind the stomach that secretes digestive enzymes and produces insulin.
