endocrine function
releases hormpnes = insuline
These are secreted by islets
Exocrine function of pancreas
releases fluid and catalytic enzymes
secreted by acini
pancreatic duct function
enzymes pass along it into the duodenum
what is hepatopancreatic duct
= allows enzymes to pass into the duodenum, these enzymes will promote digestion of food
hormones released by pancreas*
insulin
glucagon
what is kidney threshold for sugar
kidney threshold for sugar is 10 mmol/ l
liver
manufactures bile and releases it down hepapatic duct into the gall bladder via cystic duct where it is stored
the gall bladder releases bile via the hepapancreatic duct into the
what happens when we digest any fat
what the fat enters the duodenum, the cells in the duodenum release CCK (cholecystokinin) (hormone) that will pass to the wall of the gallbladder
= caused gall bladder to contract and push bile into duodenum
bile will breakdown fat in a process called emulsification
four lobes of liver

right
quadrate
caudate
what happens if patient has cholecystectomy
liver produce bile, released straight into the duodenum
why is the liver a highly vascular structure
central vein
sinusoid
will deliver large amounts of blood to liver
secretion of bile and bile salts
phagocytosis of bacteria and foreign material
