Which is the biggest the pancreas or the liver?
The liver is bigger than the pancreas.
In what two ways do the liver and pancreas differ from other digestive organs?
The liver is responsible for detoxification, producing bile, and storing nutrients, while the pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon. Unlike other digestive organs, the liver does not directly digest food but aids in the process, and the pancreas has both endocrine and exocrine functions.
What are the four accessory organs of digestion?
salivary gland, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
Name the two main organs that are involved in blood sugar levels?
The two main organs involved in blood sugar regulation are the pancreas and the liver. The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon, hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels, while the liver stores excess glucose and releases it as needed to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
What four parts of the digestive system does food not pass through?
The salivary glands, the parotid gland, the pancreas and the gallbladder. All four of these secrete enzymes and/or hormones which are involved in digestion, but all four do not come into contact with food.
Why liver and pancreas are not the part of alimentary canal?
bcoz The pancreas is a ductless gland that secretes hormones and is not technically part of the alimentary canal. and Liver secreats bile juice.But liver gives this to gall bladder and gall bladder gives this to small intestine whereas other glands give juices directly to small intestine. Therefore liver is not a part of alimentary canal.
What is purpose of liver and pancreas?
the liver produces bile and the pancreas produces enzymes that breakdown food.
What' gland controls blood glucose levels?
Pancreas
Where is the liver in relation to stomach?
Together, the liver and the Pancreas regulate blood-sugar or blood-glucose concentration. They do so by the Pancreas releasing two protein based hormones known as Glucagon and Insulin into the Liver. The liver then either starts the build up (if insulin is released) of glucose into starch, hence decreasing blood sugar concentration or the liver starts the break down (if glucagon is released) of starch into glucose hence increasing blood sugar concentration. These are required in maintaining homeostasis.
What regulates the amount of sugar in the blood?
There are several organs and hormones that regulate the amount of sugar in the blood. Insulin, the pancreas, the liver, and glucagon are the major sugar regulators.
What do the hormones by the pancreas do?
Insulin is produced in the pancreas. It helps metabolize sugar.
What hormone is secreted by the pancreas?
Several hormones are secreted by the pancreas. They include insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic peptide.
