2. Acknowledgement
• I would like to express my special thanks
of gratitude to my Science teacher
Saurabh Subba sir who gave us this golden
opportunity to do this wonderful
presentation which has not only
developed our knowledge regarding the
topic but also about teamwork .We got to
know extra information raher than just
the short description given in book as well
as many research works too helped
us.Also I would also like to express my
heartfelt thanks to my other group
member becausebof whom the project
has been completed successfully
4. Introduction
• Pancreas is a mixed gland in the human body
system it is partly exocrine and partly endocrine.It
is a soft,finely lobulated,elongated gland.Pancreas
names because of its freshly appearance
• It is the part of body that secretes hormones and
digestive enzymes which helps in breaking down
the many proteins, carbohydrates etc in the small
intestine whereas the pancreatic hormones
maintain glucose homeostasis.
• The pancreatic juice helps in the digestion of
lipids, carbohydrates and proteins.

5. Anatomy
• The pancreas is an elongated,
tapered organ located across the
back of the belly, behind the
stomach. It is called a mixed
organ. It is made up of two
glands. Exocrine gland and
endocrine gland. The endocrine
secrets hormones like insulin and
glucagon. The exocrine secrets
digestive enzymes such as
trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen,
lipase, amylase, etc.
6. Endocrine
and exocrine
• The exocrine has the
acinar cells Secrete
digestive enzymes into
pancreatic duct.
• The endocrine has the
islets of Langerhans
cells which secrets
hormones into blood
vessels.
7. Acinar cells
• The pancreatic acinar cell is a highly
specialized structure developed for
synthesis, storage, and secretion of
digestive enzymes.
• The cells secretes trypsin, chymotrypsin,
and amylase for digestion of food in the
small intestine.
• Trypsin and Chymotrypsin helps to break
down the protein in the foods we eat and
converts them into peptides and amino
acids , Amylases digest starch into smaller
molecules, ultimately yielding maltose,
which in turn is cleaved into two glucose
molecules by maltase
8. Islets of
Langerhans cells
• Islets of Langerhans
are islands of endocrine
cells scattered throughout
the pancreas. It contains
cells like alpha cells
secrete glucagon, beta
cells secrete insulin, delta
cells secrete somatostatin,
and P (F) cells secrete
pancreatic polypeptide.
10. Pancreatic disease
• Pancreatic disease are the diseases
that affect the pancreas .There are a
variety of disorders of the pancreas
including acute pancreatitis, chronic
pancreatitis, hereditary pancreatitis,
and pancreatic cancer. The evaluation
of pancreatic diseases can be difficult
due to the inaccessibility of the
pancreas.
• Symptoms:
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Rapid heart rate
• Diarrhoea
• Fluid build up in your belly ...etc
• Pancreatic insufficiency is usually
manifested by malabsorption,
malnutrition, avitaminosis, and
weight loss for failure to gain weight
in children). Treatment is about
treating the root cause, preventing
further damage to the pancreas, and
relieving symptoms

11. Conclusion
• The pancreas is an internal organ that plays a key
role in the transformation of essential numents
that proven energy for cells. Problems with its
functioning may negatively affect the health of
the human body .Even healthy and relatively
young people should take care of healthy
nutrition and an appropriate life, which will
guarantee guarantee optimal pancreatic
functioning for many years.Inappropriate work of
the pancreas has a negative impact on the proper
functioning the body, contributing factor to the
development of diseases related to the pancreas.
