A gland organ, the pancreas is an integral component of the digestive system with two different functional parts performing vital, life-sustaining tasks.
The Islets of Langerhans are the endocrine (inner) cells of the pancreas that secrete insulin and glucagon, hormones needed to regulate the metabolization of sugar.
The acinar cells are the exocrine (outer) cells of the pancreas that produce and transport the digestive enzymes (including chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase, and trypsin) and alkaline fluid that aid in the break down of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

The Pancreas helps with digestion and processed sugar in the body.
The pancreas produces certain enzymes and hormones, including insulin, that break down food. The pancreas releases these fluids directly into the blood and the ducts of the body.
The main digestive enzymes found in the pancreas include amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase (breaks down fats), and protease (breaks down proteins). These enzymes are released into the small intestine to help with the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The pancreas and liver help in digestion without directly touching food. The pancreas releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The liver produces bile that is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats.
Pancreas.
the pancreas breaks down food chemicaly
A+ user pancreas
it grinds up the food, sends it to your brain to churn it, then spits it out your butt into the toilet
Enzymes, they are responsible in chemical digestion.
Yes, the pancreas produces lipase. Lipase is an enzyme that helps break down fats in the digestive system. It is secreted by the pancreas and helps in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
The pancreas is the accessory organ to digestion that produces most of the digestive enzymes. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in food for absorption.
