MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In order for the human body to maintain the correct level of glucose (blood sugar) within a very narrow range, it needs two hormones: insulin and glucagon, which are secreted by the pancreas (pancreatic endocrine hormones) (Al-Husseina et al., 2021).

Detailed explanation-2: -Pancreas is an abdominal organ located behind the stomach and surrounded by spleen, liver and small intestine. It is a vital part of the digestive system and is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase, proteases and lipase into the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones. These are chemical messengers that travel through your blood. Pancreatic hormones help regulate your blood sugar levels and appetite, stimulate stomach acids, and tell your stomach when to empty.
