What else can I help you with?
What secretes digestive enzymes into small intestine or stomach and also makes insulin?
the pancreas
What secretes digestive enzymes?
Pancreas
What is the the organ the releases glucose in the bloodstream?
The small intestine adds glucose from the food you eat, into the blood stream. Perhaps you mean insulin which regulates the uptake of glucose. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets. The pancreas is the organ in this case.
Where does the gastrosplenic vein carry blood from?
The Stomach, Small Intestine, And left side of the pancreas.
What role does the pancreas play in the digestive process?
The pancreas secretes digestive substances into the small intestine to help digest certain kinds of nutrients.
What do prancreas do?
The pancreas has two roles, helping with endocrine homeostasis by secreting insulin and glycogen when directed and producing bile for the small intestine.
What is the pancreas attached to the small intestine?
pancreas is an independent gland. The pancreas produces pancreatic juice which contains enzymes for digestion. But, the pancreas is connected to the small intestine through the pancreatic duct at the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine connected from the stomach).
What are the roles of the liver and pancreas in the digestion of fats?
pancreas produces insulin to keep blood sugars under control liver processes toxins like drugs and alcohol
What is the name of the organ or gland that produces insulin?
Insulin is produced in the pancreas, which is not a small organ. There are specific parts of the pancreas which produce insulin, which are called the Isles of Langerhans.
What is the pancreas responsible for?
The pancreas is responsible for producing digestive enzymes and insulin. Digestive enzymes help break down food in the small intestine, while insulin regulates blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells for energy or storage.
The hormone secretin responds to food entering the small intestine and stimulates the pancreas to release what?
Bicarbonate.
What part of the digestive system produces insulin?
Insulin is not stored, the body makes it on demand. Also it is not part of the digestive system, rather it is a hormone regulating the amount of sugar in the blood (it does however kick in when you have eaten something). Insulin is made by the islets of Langerhans, which are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (i.e., hormone-producing) cells.
