1, the pancreas is a long and narrow gland, which is placed across the lumbar plane from the posterior abdominal wall 1 to 2. It is soft and grayish red, and it is an organ deep in the human abdomen. The pancreas is divided into exocrine glands and endocrine glands.
2. Exocrine is composed of acinus and conduit connecting intestinal cavity, and endocrine is composed of islet, which mainly secretes hormones such as insulin and glucagon, some of which play a very important role in maintaining blood sugar level.
3. Pancreas "lives in seclusion" behind peritoneum, so its popularity is far less than that of stomach, duodenum, liver and gallbladder. However, digestive enzymes in pancreatic juice secreted by pancreas play a leading role in food digestion, especially in fat digestion.
Hazards of pancreatitis:
1. However, if a large amount of protein is ingested in one meal, it may cause severe acute pancreatitis. If you eat a lot of protein food and drink too much wine at the same time, you will have a greater chance of causing acute pancreatitis.
2. The possibility of diabetes depends on the degree of inflammation of pancreatitis. If it is edematous pancreatitis, it will recover quickly, while if it is acute necrotizing pancreatitis, it will affect the function of pancreatic insulin secretion, making insulin secretion too little or even impossible.
3, which leads to diabetes. This kind of diabetes caused by other diseases is called secondary diabetes. Therefore, it is also very important to protect the pancreas if you want to avoid diabetes.
