,THE PANCREAS
This is a long slender organ of about 6 inches in length
and 1.5 inches in width
It lies in the recto peritoneal region and is divided into 3
segments
Head
Body
Tail
The head has in the concavity formed by duodenum and
the tail touches the spleen
The pancreas is basically made up of 3 types of cells
1)acinii
2)islets of Langerhans
,ACINI
These are exocrine cells which secretes
pancreatic juice
Trypsin-digests proteins
Lipase-fats
Amylase-CHO
Small ducts emerge from each acinii emptying the
juice into the main ducts
The main duct extend through the entire length of
the gland and joins the common bile duct at the
ampulla of vat before entering the duodenum
through the sphincter of odi
, ISLETS OF LANGERHANS
These are endocrine cells that secretes
insulin and glucagon
Insulin and glucagon are important for
CHO metabolism
