Where is the pancreas on the body
Pancreas function and location
welcome to moomoomath in science in this
video I'd like to talk about the
pancreas the pancreas is an organ
located in the abdominal area let's take
a look at its location and what it looks
like is an organ about the size and
shape of an average banana it sits
behind your stomach the opening of the
pancreas attaches to the first part of
your small intestine the pancreas has
two important roles in the human body
first
it helps with digestion after food
enters the top of the small intestine
the pancreas secretes a clear watery
substance that contains several enzymes
these enzymes help digest proteins
carbohydrates and helps convert fat into
fatty acids and cholesterol secondly the
pancreas helps maintain our blood sugar
levels by secreting hormones blood
glucose levels must be maintained within
certain limits so that there's a
constant supply of sugar to feed the
cells but not too much so that the
kidneys and other organs aren't damaged
the pancreas produces two hormones to
help control the blood sugar the first
is glue kitchen glue kitchen raises
cos'è levels by stimulating the liver to
metabolize gluten into glucose molecules
and then this glucose is released into
the blood
the second hormone is insulin and this
hormone lowers blood glucose levels
after a male body stimulating the
absorption of glucose by the liver
along with muscles and fat tissue
so the pancreas has two very important
roles helps with digestion and also
helps regulate our blood sugar levels
