YES!!
If the pancreas is damaged, the enzymes leak into the pancreatic tissue and start to auto-digest (eat itself) the cells, which results in hemorrhage, swelling, and local destruction within the pancreas. This process is also known as inflammation. Inflammation of the pancreas can occur with an immediate injury to the pancreas (i.e. acute) or with slow, long term damage (chronic).
What else can I help you with?
What organ digests starches?
its either the stomache, saliva, liver or pancreas im not sure
What are the 6 parts that digests foods?
Mouth, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, small intestine, and large intestine.
What are the different functions of the pancreas and how is the pancreas directly related to digestion?
pancreas makes enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon for the body. It secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase which digests starch. It also produces lipase (which breaks down fats) and trypsin (which is a protein processor).
What digests the food in your stomach?
In the stomach, digestion of proteins occurs from the reaction with hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice.
What is the enzyme that digests starch?
The enzyme that digests starch is called amylase. Amylase is produced in both the saliva (salivary amylase) and the pancreas (pancreatic amylase) and breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules like maltose.
What types of enzyme digests stains containing fats?
Lipase is the enzyme that digests stains containing fats. Lipases are produced by our pancreas and are responsible for breaking down fats into smaller components that can be easily absorbed by the body.
What does grossly normal pancreas mean?
pancreas grossly normal
What does it mean pancreas is unremarkable by CT scan?
If the pancreas is unremarkable, it means that the pancreas appears normal.
What produces juice that travels to the small intestine and digests proteins starches and fats?
The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate that are released into the small intestine. These enzymes help to break down proteins, starches, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
What does lipase digest?
Lipase digests fats (lipids) by breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol. This enzyme is produced in the pancreas and released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats from the diet.
How is the pancreas directly related to the digestion?
It manufactures and secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase, which digests starch. It also produces lipase (which breaks down fats) and trypsin (which is a protein processor).
Structure that digests food?
It's not the structure itself, but rather the enzymes and other chemicals secreted in these structures that digests food. These areas are:mouth (carbohydrates)stomach (proteins)small intestine (everything except proteins)
