head lies near duodenum
pancreas
pancreas made up of___tissue
exocrine and endocrine tissue
exocrine tissue in pancreas secretes
digestive enzymes
main pancreatic duct connects
common bile duct near duodenum
endocrine tissue in pancreas secretes (think endocrine)
hormones (such as insulin) into blood
blood supply to pancreas from…(blood GSS in pancakes)
splenic artery, gastroduodenal artery and superior mesenteric artery
pancreas assists in digestion by..
