  • kõhuõõnes mao taga paiknev elund, mis seedenäärmena eritab seedenõret ja sisenõrenäärmena toodab hormoone (nt insuliini)

  • a large, lobulated gland located in the upper part of the abdomen behind the stomach, having both an exocrine function (secretion of digestive enzymes into the duodenum) and an endocrine function (secretion of insulin and glucagon from the islets of Langerhans)
  • a large lobulated gland of vertebrates that secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagon
Good to know
  • Embedded in the pancreas are the islets of Langerhans, which secrete into the blood the hormones insulin and glucagon.
  • In humans the pancreas weighs approximately 80 grams (about 3 ounces) and is shaped like a pear. It is located in the upper abdomen, with the head lying immediately adjacent to the duodenum (the upper portion of the small intestine) and the body and tail extending across the midline nearly to the spleen.

pancreas
Usage examples
  • Chill 5 kg of fresh pig pancreas to 0 oC; remove the surrounding solid fat and connective tissue and triturate in a blender so as to obtain a pasty fluid.
  • The pancreas may be the site of acute and chronic infections, tumours, and cysts. Should it be surgically removed, life can be sustained by the administration of insulin and potent pancreatic extracts. Approximately 80 to 90 percent of the pancreas can be surgically removed without producing an insufficiency of either endocrine hormones (insulin and glucagon) or exocrine substances (water, bicarbonate, and enzymes).
