PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both hormones come from your pancreas-alpha cells in your pancreas make and release glucagon, and beta cells in your pancreas make and release insulin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although it is primarily an exocrine gland, secreting a variety of digestive enzymes, the pancreas has an endocrine function. Its pancreatic islets-clusters of cells formerly known as the islets of Langerhans-secrete the hormones glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide (PP).

Detailed explanation-4: -These findings suggest that the endocrine hormones insulin and glucagon may regulate secretion of digestive enzymes by the pancreas by modulating the response to stimuli of overall protein secretion such as cholecystokinin.
