In this study is the period of the morphological exploration of the pancreas from the discovery of islets of LANGERHANS (1869) to the discovery of pancreas-diabetes through von MERING and MINKOWSKI (1889) investigated. In his thesis has PAUL LANGERHANS the islets of pancreas and the centro-acinar cells described. In the period from 1869 to 1889 has the majority of investigators the opinion that the islets are parts of the lymphatic system. In the other hand investigators have the opinion that islets are parts of pancreatic ducts or residues of the embryonic period. RENAUT (1879) makes it possible that islets are derivatives of epithelial tissues. KUHNE (1875) gives the description of vessels in the islets of Langerhans. KUHNE and LEA (1882) have found that islets are independent of acini. This hypothesis has RUDOLPH HEIDENHAIN (1875) supposed.
在本研究中，考察了从朗格汉斯岛（胰岛）被发现（1869年）到通过冯·梅林和明科夫斯基发现胰腺与糖尿病的关系（1889年）这一时期对胰腺的形态学探索。保罗·朗格汉斯在其论文中描述了胰腺胰岛和中央腺泡细胞。在1869年至1889年期间，大多数研究者认为胰岛是淋巴系统的一部分。另一方面，研究者认为胰岛是胰腺导管的一部分或胚胎期的残余物。勒诺（1879年）提出胰岛可能是上皮组织的衍生物。屈内（1875年）描述了朗格汉斯岛中的血管。屈内和利（1882年）发现胰岛独立于腺泡。鲁道夫·海登海因（1875年）推测过这一假说。
