The pancreas is an essential component of the human digestive system that regulates blood sugar levels. It is an abdominal organ that is situated below the stomach and is bordered by the spleen, liver, and small intestine. It is also involved in the production of hormones such as glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide, as well as the secretion of digestive enzymes into the duodenum such as proteases, amylase, and lipase.
