pancreas
A gland near the stomach which secretes a fluid to help with food digestion and also the hormone insulin which helps the body process glucose (or sugars)
{n} the sweetbread of an animal
gland that produces pancreatic juice and insulin
The sweetbread, a gland connected with the intestine of nearly all vertebrates
Long, irregularly shaped gland, which lies behind the stomach, and secretes pancreatic juice into the lower end of the stomach that aids in the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats The pancreas can be donated and transplanted
long gland that lies behind the stomach, which manufactures insulin and digestive enzymes
(PAN-kree-as)
a large elongated exocrine gland located behind the stomach; secretes pancreatic juice and insulin
Your pancreas is an organ in your body that is situated behind your stomach. It produces insulin and substances that help your body digest food. a gland inside your body, near your stomach, that produces insulin and a liquid that helps your body to use the food that you eat (pankreas, from pan- ( PAN-) + kreas ). Compound gland functioning as both an exocrine (secreting through a duct) and an endocrine (ductless) gland. It continuously secretes pancreatic juice (containing water, bicarbonate, and enzymes needed to digest carbohydrates, fat, and protein) through the pancreatic duct to the duodenum. Scattered among the enzyme-producing cells are the islets of Langerhans, which secrete insulin and glucagon directly into the bloodstream. Disorders include inflammation (pancreatitis), infections, tumours, and cysts. If more than 80-90% of the pancreas must be removed, the patient will need to take insulin and pancreatic extracts. See also diabetes mellitus; hypoglycemia
an organ that makes insulin and enzymes for digestion The pancreas is located behind the lower part of the stomach and is about the size of a hand
An organ behind the lower part of the stomach that is about the size of a hand It has two major responsibilities: part (the endocrine pancreas) makes insulin so that the body can use glucose (sugar) for energy Another part (the exocrine pancreas) makes enzymes that help the body digest food Spread all over the pancreas are areas called the Islets of Langerhans The cells in these areas each have a special purpose The alpha cells make glucagon, which raises the level of glucose in the blood; the beta cells make insulin; the delta cells make somatostatin There are also the PP cells and the D1 cells, about which little is known
An organ that produces digestive juices It sometimes can become inflamed in people with gallstones
The pancreas is a small gland that lies behind your stomach It secretes powerful digestive enzymes into the small bowel, as well as the hormones, insulin and glucagon for regulating blood sugar levels
The organ behind the stomach that helps control blood sugar levels
(PAN-kree-as) A gland that makes enzymes that help the body break down and use nutrients in food It also produces the hormone insulin [see definition] and releases it into the bloodstream to help the body control blood sugar levels
The pancreas is a gland about 15 cm long, that lies behind the stomach One end touches the curve of the duodenum; the other end touches the spleen It is composed of clusters of cells which are involved in the digestive process The pancreas is also the gland that produces insulin
Secretes insulin, the hormones controlling the use of sugar in the body, and other hormones involved with sugar metabolism
an organ located underneath the stomach that produces enzymes that aid in digestion, and also produces hormones such as insulin, which helps the body use sugar for energy
a gland lying behind the stomach that creates insulin and pancreatic juice -- a clear, alkaline containing enzymes used during digestion
a large lobulated gland that in humans lies in front of the upper lumbar vertebrae and behind the stomach and is somewhat hammer-shaped and firmly attached anteriorly to the curve of the duodenum with which it communicates through one or more pancreatic ducts and that consists of (1) tubular acini secreting digestive enzymes which pass to the intestine and function in the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates; (2) modified acinar cells that form islets of Langerhans between the tubules and secrete the hormones insulin and glucagon; and (3) a firm connective-tissue capsule that extends supportive strands into the organ
