Anatomic_Structure_Has_Location Anatomic_Structure_Is_Physical_Part_Of Pancreas PCDC An organ behind the lower part of the stomach that is the shape of a fish and about the size of a hand. It is a compound gland composed of both exocrine and endocrine tissues. The endocrine pancreas makes insulin so that the body can use glucose (sugar) for energy. The exocrine pancreas makes enzymes that help the body digest food. Spread all over the pancreas are areas called the Islets of Langerhans. The cells in these areas each have a special purpose. The alpha cells make glucagon, which raises the level of glucose in the blood; the beta cells make insulin; the delta cells make somatostatin. There are also PP cells and D1 cells, about which little is known. A digestive organ in the abdomen that has both endocrine and exocrine functions. Pancreas PANCREAS Body Part, Organ, or Organ Component Pancreas Pancreas, NOS mCode Pancreas PANCREAS C12393 Pancreas A glandular organ located in the abdomen. It makes pancreatic juices, which contain enzymes that aid in digestion, and it produces several hormones, including insulin. The pancreas is surrounded by the stomach, intestines, and other organs.
