... 4 Juvenile hormone (JH), secreted by the corpora allata, determines the result of the molt. At relatively high concentrations of JH, ecdysone-stimulated molting produces another larval stage. JH suppresses metamorphosis. But when levels of JH fall below a certain concentration, a pupa forms at the n ...

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.
