ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The pancreas has key roles in maintaining normal blood glucose levels by producing and releasing insulin and glucagon.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are insulin and glucagon. Functions: Insulin: It helps in lowering the sugar levels in the blood by converting glucose into glycogen for storage. Glucagon: It helps in increasing the sugar level in the blood by converting stored glycogen into glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Exocrine pancreatic secretion is regulated by hormone-hormonal and neural-hormonal interactions involving several regulatory peptides and neurotransmitter from the gut, the pancreas and the vagus nerve.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the intestinal phase, pancreatic response is regulated primarily by the hormones secretin and CCK, and by neural influences including the enteropancreatic reflex which is mediated by the enteric nervous system and amplifies the pancreatic secretory response.
