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).
The pancreas delivers important hormones like insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin through the body so the digestive system is able to properly digest nutrients. If the pancreas is unable to send out these hormones, the digestive system cannot digest these things and allergies to food appear like celiac and diabetes.
The pancreas also produces enzymes such as amylase to perform chemical digestion. Most enzymes produced by the pancreas are also found in other parts of the body as well.
The pancreas is the only exocrine gland that supplies digestive enzymes to digest all three types of foods: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
The chemical that neutralizes chyme is known as sodium bicarbonate. It helps to protect the lining of the stomach and duodenum and prevents ulcers from forming.
The pancreas secrets enzymes and controls your bodies natural balance of insulin to maintain blood sugar. If it fails it can cause your internal organs to literally be dissolved by bodily fluids.
The pancreas is located in the center of your upper abdomen.
It has close relations to your stomach and a part of the small intestines called the duodenum, where the pancreatic duct meets the gastrointestinal tract.
The pancreas is ~15-20 cm long, and about 4-5 cm wide. It is generally described as having a head (caput pancreas), a neck (collum pancreas), a body (corpus pancreas) and a "tail" (cauda pancreas). The color is yellow-brownish. The consistency is not firm, but instead rather soft. For real look of it, i suggest googling for a picture.
The organ itself serves both endocrine and exocrine functions. The exocrine functions involve important partaking in digestion of food. The endocrine is also very important, of which you might know of its production of insulin.
You will have to go for pancreas transplant.Even if you relys on medicine,you still cannot live long.
The pancreas secretes insulin which helps regulate blood glucose levels and it also secretes digestive enzymes such as glucagon that assist in breaking down fat, carbohydrate and protein.
pancreas is an independent gland. The pancreas produces pancreatic juice which contains enzymes for digestion. But, the pancreas is connected to the small intestine through the pancreatic duct at the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine connected from the stomach).
It is both an exocrine and endocrine gland. It is responsible for controlling the blood sugar level in the body as well as providing the digestive enzymes for all three categories of food; proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
