PARTS<br /><br />• Pancreatic islets- originate in endocrine that secretes insulin and glucagons.<br />• Pancreatic duct- unites with common bile duct to unfilled the duodenum.<br />• Acinar gland(acini)- a branch of exocrine that secretes digestive enzymes.<br /><br />B. FUNTIONS<br /><br /><br />• Exocrine secretions has bicarbonate;<br /><br /> That neutralized acidic juice or chime<br /> Stops pepsin digestion<br /> Provides proper function of the pancreatic enzymes.<br /> Helps in digestion of all classes of food.<br /><br /><br />• Proteolytic enzymes<br /><br /> Trypsin<br /> Chymotripsin<br /> Carboxy peptidase<br /><br />These enzymes digest protein that came from the stomach and pancreatic amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates from the oral cavity.<br /><br />• Pancreatic enzymes<br /><br /> Lipases- for lipid digestion<br /> Nucleases- lessen DNA and RNA from its nucleotide component.<br /> Secretin- produced watery pancreatic solution that has bicarbonate. Acidic chyme is the stimulus for the production of secretin.<br /> Cholecystokinin- stimulates the pancreas for the production of enzyme rich solution, which stimulated by the presence of fatty acids and amino acids from the duodenum<br /><br />C. ENZYMES PRESENT IN THE PANCREAS<br /><br /> Alpha cells- secretes glucagons<br /> Beta cells- secretes insulin.maricrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07438468400784656462noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441500408877734826.post-47719013993645819532009-05-26T01:11:00.000-07:002009-05-26T01:12:14.045-07:00WelcomeHi, I'm <span style="color:#3333ff;"><strong>Maricris</strong></span>, welcome to my blog.maricrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07438468400784656462noreply@blogger.com1
