Pancreas

Pancreas transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a diseased pancreas is replaced with a healthy pancreas that has been obtained from an immunologically compatible cadavear or living donor.

Pancreatic ascites develops when a cyst that has thick, fibrous walls (pseudocyst) bursts and permits pancreatic juices to enter the abdominal cavity

Islet cells, specifically the beta cells within the pancreatic islets, secrete insulin in response to rising blood glucose levels. While they do not secrete insulin at a fixed interval like every 6 minutes, they release it in a pulsatile manner, with bursts occurring several times per hour. This rhythmic secretion helps regulate blood sugar levels effectively. The exact timing and quantity can vary based on individual metabolic needs and conditions.

The pancreas is a dual-function gland. While most glands are either exocrine or endocrine, the pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions. Exocrine glands secrete substances outside the body or into the gut, while endocrine glands secrete substances into the blood. Consequently, the physiology of the pancreas can be considered in the context of the substances that the pancreas releases into the gut (it does not excrete substances outside the body) or into the blood.

Products from the exocrine portion of the pancreas are called enzymes and include trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, and pancreatic lipase. Major products of the endocrine pancreas are called hormones and include insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin.

Hyperechoic pancreas means that the pancreas has some bright regions. This is usually caused by excessive pancreatic lipomatosis and may be an indicator of a chronic disease.

The pancreas produces several important hormones such as insulin, glucagon and somatostatin. It is a digestive organ that secretes pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist in the absorption of nutirents and the digestion in the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.

The Pancreas secretes enzymes for digestion and aqueous bicarbonate (a base) to neutralize acid entering the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine) from the stomach. The enzymatic component is secreted by the acinar cells of the pancreas, while the aqueous portion is secreted by the epithelium of the pancreatic ducts.

Here are some of the enzymes that are secreted by the acinar cells:

-Trypsinogen 1,2, and 3

-chymotrypsinogen

-proelastase 1 and 2

-procarboxypeptidase A1, A2, B1, and B2

-alpha amylase

-Triacylglycerol hydrolase

-Phospholipase A2

-Colipase 1 and 2.

The pancreatic duct cells (epithelium of the ducts) secrete primarily bicarbonate, but they also secrete Cl. You can also find Na and K in the aqueous portion of the secretion.

That answer for the what the pancreas secretes is: Insulin.

The pancreas secretes the pancreatic enzyme protease, pancreatic lipase, pancreatic amylase.

• Pancreas or Pancreatic divisum is a congenital anomaly in the anatomy of the ducts of the pancreas in which a single pancreatic duct is not formed, but rather remains as two distinct dorsal and ventral ducts.

• Pancreas divisum in individuals with no symptoms does not require treatment. Treatment of those with symptoms varies and has not been well established. A surgeon may attempt cutting the minor papilla to enlarge the opening and allow pancreatic enzymes to flow normally.

Insuline, glucagon...

It is a secretory organ. It primarily produces digestive enzymes and hormones involved in metabolism, chiefly insulin and glucagon.

A Whipple procedure removes the head of the pancreas, part of the small intestine and some of the surrounding tissues. This procedure is most common since the majority of pancreatic cancers occur in the head of the organ.

The pancreas is considered part of the digestive and endocrine systems. It is both an exocrine gland, secreting pancreatic juices that break down carbohydrates in the small intestine and a endocrine gland, secreting hormones, such as insulin and glucagon.

If the pancreas is unremarkable, it means that the pancreas appears normal.

No. It's not common for any child to get any of their organs damaged.

Digestion can occur without pancreatic juice, but it would be much less efficient, unless it was replaced by some suitable enzyme pills.

yes a deer does have a small intestines

gallbladder stones, obstruct the flow of the pancreatic enzymes. since cholecystokinins helps activate the bile from the gallbladder, once it is obstructed, the cholecystokinins, activates the pancreatic enzymes as well causing enzymes to become activated inside the pancreatic tissues then auto-digestion takes place(pancreatic enzymes ingests itself), in a normal functioning pancreas, enzyme has to remain inactive until it reaches the small intestine, where an actual digestion takes place.

About 3 inches above my sciatic nerve, next to my spinal chord on the right side - according to my chiropractor. I felt tenderness in this area while at the same time craving sweets.

Unfortunately, I had a lot of experience with this disease. and there is no chiropractor in the world who would relate pancreas healing to pressure points. "NOT TRUE". The pancreas is an organ, and the most complicated one. when you get pancreatitis pain, you better get yourself into the nearest E.R.. alcoholism is the most common cause. Acute pancreatitis is extremely painful, and life threatening! After several times, it becomes what they call CHRONIC. There is nothing a pressure point, or a chiropractor can do. it has nothing to do with the spinal cord. ...THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. SEE, OR GO TO THE E.R. IMMEDIATELY!

It is important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine because the pancreatic fluid flows into the small intestines. The pancreatic fluid consists of enzymes that chemically digest chyme and contains bicarbonate which neutralizes the acid in chyme. So in order for the stomach to chemically digest the food it has to have the pancreatic fluid.

glucose ?

Bile salts emulsify fats, causing breakdown of triglycerides and chylomicrons in the small intestine allowing for their absorption.

Pancreatic juice contains lipase which is the enzyme responsible for fat digestion.

A deficiency of either (e.g. cystic fibrosis) can cause steatorrhoea (or fatty stools)
