How will the pancreas help with digestion of the sandwich?
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.
