| somatostatin | <protein> Gastrointestinal and hypothalmic peptide hormone (two forms: 14 and 28 residues), found in gastric mucosa, pancreatic islets, nerves of the gastrointestinal tract, in posterior pituitary and in the central nervous system.

| somatostatinoma | A rare somatostatin-secreting tumour of pancreatic delta cells associated with diabetes mellitus or abnormal glucose tolerance. It is also found in the intestine. Of the reported primary tumours, 60% were found in the pancreas and 40% in the duodenum or jejunum. most patients were between 40 and 60 years of age with a 2:1 ratio of females to males.

| somatotopic | Relating to somatotopy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatotopy | The topographic association of positional relationships of receptors in the body via respective nerve fibres to their terminal distribution in specific functional areas of the cerebral cortex; the continuation of these positional relationships in all stages of the ascent of nerve fibres through the central nervous system enables the brain and spinal cord to function on a basis of spatially designated units. Origin: somato-+ G. Topos, place (05 Mar 2000) |

| somatostatin |
A hormone secreted from the pancreas. Somatostatin tells the body when to make hormone such as insulin, glucagon, and secretin. Also provides important "breaking" of the chyme (partially digested food) as it passes through the ileum. This is the so-called ileal break.
