pancreatic duct
Not directly, but if you allow it to get badly out of control it might in the end. This sometimes happens when people have diabetes without knowing it and collapse with dehydration and severe metabolic acidosis.
The digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas help to break down fats, proteins and starch molecules.
They are alkaline so as to neutralize the acidic chyme[digested food] that passes into the duodenum[first part of small intestine]
Pancreatitis is literally inflammation of the pancreas. Many patients do have mild swelling in the abdomen, not all will. The most common symptom of pancreatitis is pain. Some present with nausea, vomiting, fever or chills as well.
Pancrease produces pancreatic juice which contains pancreatic amylase for enzymes like lipase and protease to work on to break down food molecule into simpler molecule to pass throught the wall of the small intestine.
The beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin and C-peptide, a byproduct of insulin.

Close. Insulin is produced in the pancrease to regulate glucose levels in the blood.
There are different types of carbohydrate - maltose, fructose, starch... but the general name given to enzymes which break-down carbohydrates is "carbohydrase".
Pancreas detects blood glucose level by its cells called "Islets of Langerhans." When the blood glucose level is too high, it releases insulin. When it becomes too low, the pancreas then releases glucagon to elevate a low blood glucose.
very good question
The liver is based on cleaning things like ur urinary wastes. I mean sometimes we might drink too much or drink to many milkshakes - the liver deals with liquid waste uc and on the other hand the pancrease is dependendent on the isle of langerhorn ie a small gland to give it its kick - the prudence and the purpose of the pancreas is to ensure the stomach ie the colon long and short are feed appropriately to disburse out you bowls. - Makes you Human !
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.
The person does not have enough digestive enzymes.
protein,carbonhydrates,and fats
The bile breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol by physical digestion through a process called emulsification.The juice in the pancreas(pancreatic juice) contains amylase enzyme,lipase enzyme and protease enzyme.The amylase enzyme breaks down carbohydrates into maltose,the lipase enzyme breaks down fats into fatty acids and the protease breaks down protein into amino acids.Basically it is to break down food (digestion).
