GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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 function of the pancreas is to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It is a large gland located behind the stomach. It produces insulin, glucagon, and other hormones. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not use insulin properly (called insulin resistance).

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes-pancreatitis is a known cause of type 3c diabetes; chronic pancreatitis causes nearly 80% of all type 3c cases. About 1.8% of patients with adult-onset diabetes have type 3c as a result of pancreatitis. However, far too many are misdiagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pancreas produces the hormone insulin, which allows glucose from the bloodstream to enter the body’s cells where it is used for energy. In type 2 diabetes, too little insulin is produced, or the body cannot use insulin properly, or both. This results in a build-up of glucose in the blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pancreas is an organ and a gland. Glands are organs that produce and release substances in the body. The pancreas performs two main functions: Exocrine function: Produces substances (enzymes) that help with digestion. Endocrine function: Sends out hormones that control the amount of sugar in your bloodstream.
