The pancreas and liver play crucial roles in digesting ice cream. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes, such as amylase, lipase, and proteases, which help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the ice cream. Meanwhile, the liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to emulsify fats, aiding in their digestion and absorption. Together, these organs ensure that the nutrients in ice cream are effectively processed and utilized by the body.
Because blood vessels are embedded in the pancreas and liver

The pancreas produces enzymes and hormones which help digest food. Therefore, the pancreas is important to the stomach and the intestines. They both would not function without the pancreas.
Almost any organ you can name does not touch the food: heart, pancreas, gall bladder, brain, eyes, prostate gland, kidneys, liver, lungs, genitalia. None of these come in contact with the food.
A big effect :P
Insulin is produced in the Pancreas. The liver stores Glucose used in Cellular Metabolism. When your body requires more Glucos, your Pancreas will secrete Insulin into the Liver and trigger the release of more Glucose. Your pancreas is located directly inferior of the Liver in the RUQ of the Abdomen.
The pancreas secretes bile, a digestive enzyme, into the intestines. Food is broken up and nutrients carried out into the the blood. The pancreas secretes enzymes that include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.
No, would burn like hell. Your liver has to filter it out.. Well ur liver pancreas and kidneys...
Insulin is the to pancreas as bile is to the liver in the way that they each produce these things. Though there are many another analogies you could create that would be equally true, if not more accurate, such as, Insulin is the the pancreas as erythropoietin is to the kidneys.
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes that aid digestion in the small intestines; the removal of the pancreas would make it much more difficult to digest food. If the pancreas has to be removed for medical reasons (probably pancreatic cancer) then presumably, the patient would then take enzyme pills with his or her meals, to make up for the loss of the pancreas. Such a person would also suffer from severe diabetes, since the pancreas is also the organ that secretes insulin, and a person without a pancreas would require insulin injections as well.
After a Pancreatectomy you need a mechanism to replace the three main enzymes that the pancreas produces (lipase, prolapse, amalase). I use Creon 25 for this, two per meal, one taken before the meal and one half way through. This product is made from pig pancreas extracts and allows me to digest my food along with Insulin injections and bile from my liver.
why is the pancreas so important to the human body
