Human Pancreas
The dual-purpose gland behind your stomach/The Human Body
The pancreas serves both digestive and hormonal functions. Its exocrine cells produce enzymes that break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, while its islets of Langerhans produce insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar. It sits behind the stomach, spanning the upper abdomen.
