... Extra Knowledge: Fat molecules can be difficult to break down because large fat droplets do not mix well with water-based enzymes such as lipase. For lipase to work, it helps if the fat is emulsified into tiny droplets. This is done with the help of bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. 5. Obser ...

Pancreas



The pancreas /ˈpæŋkriəs/ is a glandular organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach. It is an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide which circulate in the blood. The pancreas is also a digestive organ, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme.
