Enzymes are transported out of a pancreas cell through a process called exocytosis. In this process, the enzymes are packaged into vesicles within the cell, which then move toward the cell membrane. Upon reaching the membrane, the vesicles fuse with it, releasing their contents into the extracellular space. This is a critical mechanism for the secretion of digestive enzymes into the digestive tract.
What else can I help you with?
How would digestive enzymes reach the digestive tract?
The Pancreas has ducts
What organ relys on the pancreas?
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.
Can the pancreas be surgically removed?
Technically, it can be. Reasons for removing the pancreas might include cancer or trauma (such as a car accident). The pancreas is responsible for producing digestive enzymes and the body's supply of insulin. Without it, you would become a Type-1 Diabetic and would need to take insulin shots and digestive enzymes.
What problems would a person most likely have is his pancreas was not working correctly?
The person does not have enough digestive enzymes.
What do you need to do if you have your pancreas removed?
Without a pancreas you will have Type-1 diabetes (as the pancreas produces the body's insulin supply) and will no longer have the ability to secrete key digestive enzymes. You would need to check blood sugar levels regularly throughout the day as well as administer insulin shots when needed. You would also have to take digestive enzymes before eating anything.
What would happen without enzyms?
Without enzymes your body would process more slowly.
Organelles would be especially abundant in the pancreatic cells that PRODUCE enzymes?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum would be responsible for the synthesis of protein (peptide enzymes) in the exocrine pancreatic cells. Also, synthesis of protein requires energy. It is also natural to see abundant mitochondria in the exocrine pancreatic cells.
How will the removal of pancreas affect digestion?
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.
Which would be evidence that a person's pancreas is not working correctly?
The person does not have enough digestive enzymes.The person does not have enough digestive enzymes.
Would be evidence that a person's pancreas is not working correctly?
The person does not have enough digestive enzymes.The person does not have enough digestive enzymes.
It could be excess i?
It could be excess insulin secretion from your pancreas, but high glucose foods may cause this, and the enzymes would help
How can you lose your pancreas?
Consult a doctor. Without a pancreas you would immediately become a type-1 diabetic (as the pancreas produces the blood sugar your body needs to function). This would require monitoring your blood sugar levels on a daily basis, a strict diet, exercise and possibly insulin shots. You would also need to take digestive enzymes with each meal as another function of the pancreas, that you are now lacking, is to produce such enzymes.
