- 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
