What is it?
A gland that secretes digestive enzymes into the gut

What is it made of
Composed 99% of acini cells Pancreatic duct Islet of Langerhans

Islet of Langerhans
Discovered by Paul Langerhans in 1869 Group of cells that stand out from
surrounding cells Cells inside islet include A,B,D,F & Epsilon
cells

Islet cells
Alpha cells produce glucagon Beta cells produce insulin & amylin Delta cells produce somatostatin F/PP cells produce pancreatic polypeptide Epsilon cells produce ghrelin

Endocrine or Exocrine?
Type of Gland Location Cell Function Comments/Key points
Endocrine Islet periphery Alpha Glucagon production Glucagon is a hormone that increases the sugar in the blood
Endocrine Islet center Beta Insulin & amylin production Insulin decreases the sugar level in the blood & amylin gives humans a full feelingEndocrine Inside islet or islet periphery Delta Somatostatin production Somatostatin is a growth inhibiting hormoneEndocrine Islet periphery PP (F) Pancreatic Polypeptide production Pancreatic polypeptide controls the activities of the pancreasEndocrine Inside islet Epsilon Gherin production Gherin is a hormone that stimulates hungarExocrine Around exterior of pancreas Acini Digetive enzyme production and secretion Acini makes 99% of the pancreas

Pancreatitis
Severe abdominal pain occurs suddenly Can cause internal bleeding or shock Excess alcohol ingestion & gallstones are
causes Caused pancreatic trauma
ACUTE

Pancreatic cancer
Also called pancreatic carcinoma Common type are exocrine tumors Endocrine tumors are usually malignant

Diabetes Mellitus
A group of metabolic diseases which are caused by high blood sugar
High blood sugar caused by insulin problems (insulin resistance or no insulin)
types of diabetes are type 1 (IDDM), type 2 (NIDDM) and Gestational
