The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen that functions as both an exocrine gland and an endocrine gland. It has a head, neck, body, and tail. As an exocrine gland, it produces pancreatic juice containing enzymes to aid digestion. As an endocrine gland, it contains clusters of cells called islets of Langerhans that secrete hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels. Diseases of the pancreas include diabetes, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic enzyme deficiency. Since the pancreas plays a vital dual role in both digestion and regulating blood sugar, diseases or loss of its function can quickly lead to illness or death.

Chapter2 presentation
The pancreas is a pinkish white gland located near the stomach and small intestine that has both exocrine and endocrine functions. It secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine through its exocrine function and regulates blood sugar through hormones like insulin and glucagon via its endocrine function. The pancreas is important for both digestion and blood glucose control as it works closely with other organs in the digestive system and body.
The digestive system.
The document discusses the nutrition function and digestive system. It describes how the digestive system, along with other body systems, takes in nutrients from food, absorbs and assimilates them. It then discusses the specific organs involved in digestion, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. It explains the key roles and processes of each organ, such as ingestion, digestion, absorption and egestion.
Compare the role of pancreas, liver and gallbladder in digestion
The liver, gallbladder and pancreas play important roles in digestion. The liver produces bile which helps digest fats. It also breaks down toxins and produces proteins and clotting factors. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile before releasing it into the small intestine. The pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions. Its exocrine role is to secrete enzymes like trypsin and lipase that help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Its endocrine role is producing hormones like insulin and glucagon that regulate blood sugar levels.
4/10 Endocrine system
The endocrine system communicates through hormones secreted by various glands to control body functions. The major glands include the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain, the thyroid and parathyroid glands in the neck, the adrenal glands on the kidneys, the pineal gland in the brain, and cells in the pancreas and reproductive organs. Hormones regulate processes like metabolism, growth, mood, and stress response without the need for ducts by circulating in the bloodstream to target tissues.
Digestive System And Endocrine
The document summarizes the digestive and endocrine systems. The digestive system breaks down food through mechanical and chemical digestion in the mouth, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and eliminates waste. The endocrine system regulates processes like growth and metabolism through hormones released by glands like the pituitary, which signal other glands and organs. Both systems work together to maintain homeostasis.
The digestive system
The digestive system consists of organs and structures that work together to break down food and extract nutrients. Food enters through the mouth and is pushed through the esophagus to the stomach by rhythmic muscle contractions called peristalsis. In the stomach, food is churned in acid before moving to the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed through villi and enzymes from the pancreas and liver further break down molecules. Waste then passes through the large intestine and exits through the anus.

Homeostasis (entire slideshow, all body systems)
The document discusses several body systems involved in homeostasis. It explains that homeostasis refers to maintaining relatively stable internal conditions despite external changes. Feedback loops allow the body to sense changes and respond to keep conditions like temperature, blood sugar, and pH levels balanced. The nervous, digestive, urinary, circulatory, and respiratory systems all contribute to homeostasis through feedback mechanisms. Key organs like the hypothalamus, liver, kidneys, and capillaries monitor levels and trigger responses to maintain homeostasis when levels deviate from their normal ranges. Diseases can disrupt homeostasis if systems are damaged or not functioning properly.
Science part 1
The document summarizes the main human body systems, including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and nervous systems. The circulatory system includes the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The respiratory system involves breathing in through the nose and trachea to the lungs. The digestive system breaks down food through the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines. The excretory system filters waste through the kidneys and produces urine. The nervous system controls the body through the brain and nerves.
Digestive System
Digestion refers to the breaking down of large food molecules into smaller molecules so that nutrients can be absorbed by the body. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are broken down by enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. In the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed through the walls and into the bloodstream. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder aid in digestion by producing enzymes and bile that help break down fat.

Anatomy and Physiology of Pancreas.pptx
Introduction
The pancreas is a gland organ. It is located in the abdomen. It is part of the digestive system and produces insulin and other important enzymes and hormones that help break down foods.
Anatomy of the pancreas:
The pancreas is an elongated, tapered organ located across the back of the belly, behind the stomach.
The right side of the organ—called the head—is the widest part of the organ and lies in the curve of the duodenum, the first division of the small intestine.
The tapered left side extends slightly upward—called the body of the pancreas—and ends near the spleen—called the tail.
Glands
The pancreas is made up of 2 types of glands:
Exocrine. The exocrine gland secretes digestive enzymes. These enzymes are secreted into a network of ducts that join the main pancreatic duct. This runs the length of the pancreas.
Endocrine. The endocrine gland, which consists of the islets of Langerhans, secretes hormones into the bloodstream.
Functions of the Pancreas
Pancreas are mainly to functions.
Digestive Function:
The enzymes secreted by the exocrine gland in the pancreas help break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and acids in the duodenum. These enzymes travel down the pancreatic duct into the bile duct in an inactive form. When they enter the duodenum, they are activated. The exocrine tissue also secretes a bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid in the duodenum. This is the first section of the small intestine.
Functions of the Pancreas Count…
Hormonal functions:
The main hormones secreted by the endocrine gland in the pancreas are insulin and glucagon, which regulate the level of glucose in the blood, and somatostatin, which prevents the release of insulin and glucagon.
Pancreatic islet
The document discusses the pancreas and pancreatic islets. The pancreas is a large gland that secretes hormones and is part of both the endocrine and digestive systems. It contains clusters of cells called pancreatic islets (islets of Langerhans), the main cells of which are beta cells that secrete insulin, alpha cells that secrete glucagon, and delta cells that secrete somatostatin. These hormones work to regulate blood sugar levels. The pancreas is located in the abdomen behind the stomach and produces enzymes to aid in digestion.
Islets of langerhans
The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach that functions in both the digestive and endocrine systems. It contains exocrine cells that secrete enzymes to aid digestion and endocrine cells clustered in structures called islets of Langerhans that secrete hormones. The islets contain alpha cells that secrete glucagon, beta cells that secrete insulin and amylin, delta cells that secrete somatostatin, and PP cells that secrete pancreatic polypeptide. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels by stimulating sugar uptake and fat storage and inhibiting gluconeogenesis. Glucagon has the opposite effects of insulin by raising blood sugar. Disorders of the pancreas include diabetes mellitus, where insufficient insulin production causes
Hormonal regulation of blood glucose level_pdf.pdf
Insulin and Glucagon are two key hormones that maintaining blood glucose level (or glucose homeostasis) in your body.
If there is a problem with your Insulin or Glucagon, you may have an imbalance blood glucose level. It may be either a high blood glucose level or a low blood glucose level.
This post will describe the hormonal regulation of blood glucose levels. Moreover, we will see how Insulin and Glucagon work together to maintain homeostatic glucose levels.
When glucose enters your systemic circulation, it goes to tissues, but glucose cannot enter your cells without Insulin.
Insulin helps in glucose uptake into cells. This means that Insulin increases the entry of glucose into your cells.
When you have a meal, incretins (GIP, GLP, etc.) release from your gut and go to your Pancreas. It stimulates Pancreas and releases Insulin.
Eventually, Incretins help to release Insulin. Due to this, Incretins are considered a natural anti-diabetic hormone.
After releasing Insulin from Pancreas, it goes to your blood circulation. It acts on the Tyrosine Kinase receptor that is present on the cell surface.
As soon as Insulin binds to the Tyrosine Kinase receptor, it facilitates the entry of glucose into cells.
Glucose also binds on the cell surface but acts on GLUT receptors or transporter like GLUT 1, GLUT 2, GLUT 3 and GLUT 4.
This is a normal process that occurs in the human body.
But our blood glucose level does not remain the same for an entire day; it fluctuates. Sometimes it gets high or low blood glucose levels.
To maintain this fluctuation, our Pancreas releases two crucial hormones – Insulin and Glucagon.

Pancreatitis
The pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions. Its exocrine role includes secreting digestive enzymes from the ductal cells that help break down carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Its endocrine role involves the islets of Langerhans secreting hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar. Pancreatitis refers to inflammation of the pancreas and can be acute, recurrent, or chronic depending on factors like gallstones, alcohol use, metabolic issues, or postoperative complications. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, and high amylase/lipase levels. Treatment involves pain relief, suppressing secretions, antibiotics, and sometimes surgery for complications or underlying issues.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Pancreas 3
- 1. Organs of The Human System The Pancreas.
- 2. Introduction…..Organs An organ is a structure that contains at least two different types of tissue functioning together for a common function. Functionally related organs often cooperate to form whole organ systems. Organs exist in all higher biological organisms, in particular they are not restricted to animals, but can also be identified in plants. There are many organs found in the human or animal body and are vital to their existence. Eg. Brain Heart Kidneys Spleen Lungs Stomach The Pancreas
- 3. The Pancreas……..Anatomy The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates. It is situated transversely across the posterior wall of the abdomen, at the back of the epigastricand left hypochondriac regions. It consists of: Head: Lies within the concavity of the duodenum Uncinateprocess: emerges from the lower part of head & lies deep to superior mesenteric vessels Neck: The constricted part between the head and the body Body: It lies behind stomach Tail: It is the left end of the pancreas. It lies in contact with the spleen and runs in the lienorenal ligament
- 4. The Pancreas…..Exocrine & Endocrine Gland The Pancreas is both an endocrine gland exocrine gland. The pancreas produce hormones such as insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin. The Pancreas secrete pancreatic juice such as trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, elastase, carboxypeptidase, pancreatic lipase The part of the pancreas with endocrine function are clusters of cells called Islets of Langerhans.
- 5. The Pancreas…..Cells of Langerhans The clusters of cells are classified according to their secretions: αcells secrete glucagon which increase Glucose in blood. βcells secrete insulin which decrease Glucose in blood. δ cells secrete somatostatin regulates or stops α and β cells. PP cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide.
- 6. The Pancreas……Diseases Diabetes mellitus : caused by insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas Acute pancreatitis: Inflammation of pancreas due to alcohol intake, drugs, trauma to pancreas, gall stones Chronic pancreatitis: Excessive alcoholism Pancreatic enzyme deficiency :Usually caused by diarrhea and sudden weight loss. Can also be caused by pancreatitis. Pancreas tumor : Abnormal or cancerous growth of pancreatic cells.
- 7. Summary. Though each organ is unique and vital for normal functioning associated with living, the Pancreas is rather unique and essential organ for continuity of life. Its dual function and role as an exocrine and endocrine gland in the digestive system makes it indispensible for normal physiological process, hence at loss of function, disease and death ensues rather quickly.
