The pancreas may be associated with many things. It is a glandular organ and is part of both the digestive and endocrine systems. It works closely with the liver and small intestine. The pancreas can be associated with Diabetes as it is the organ that produces insulin needed for the body to regulate blood sugar levels. It can also be associated with conditions such as pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis. The gall bladder shares the same common bile duct as the pancreas.
