The food is then passed through the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum. The liver‚ gallbladder and pancreas are all located around the stomach‚ but do not affect the food until it is in the duodenum. These accessory organs are responsible for the following: - Liver – produces bile‚ which emulsifies fat - Gallbladder – stores bile and introduces it into the small intestine - Pancreas – produces and secretes pancreatic juice‚ containing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate ions into the small

Homeostasis What is it? Maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment The human body is constantly responding to internal and external factors in order to maintain relative stability within the body Homeostasis is vital to the body as a whole‚ right down to each individual cell. If homeostasis is not maintained at the cellular level this will affect the body as a whole. History Claude Bernard (1813-1878): consistency of internal environment is the condition for free life.

Role of liver and pancreas in our digestive system LIVER One of the main functions of the liver is the production of bile. Bile is important for the digestion of fats. Fats are first of all is oily and hydrophobic‚ which means they don’t dissolve well in water or water-based solutions. The liver also can play a role in the digestive system by the way that it filters out toxins. Some things that the digestive system absorbs can build up in the blood and poison the tissues of the digestive tract

physician Oskar Minkowski‚ in collaboration with Joseph von Mering‚ removed the pancreas from a healthy dog to test its assumed role in digestion. The dog developed diabetes. But if the duct that the pancreatic juices flow through to the intestine was surgically tied off so that the juices could not reach the intestine‚ the dog developed minor digestive problems‚ but no diabetes. They came to the conclusion that the pancreas must need to produce digestive juices‚ and too produce a substance that regulates

because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. It is caused by very low insulin levels in one’s body‚ resistance to insulin‚ no insulin production or a combination of factors. Insulin is a hormone which is normally produced by the pancreas that works in the body to control blood sugar levels in one’s body by moving sugars out of the blood stream. High blood sugars can produce the symptoms of frequent urination‚ increased thirst and increased hunger. There are two main types of diabetes:

Assignment 5 Question 1 The pancreas is a large gland‚ situated in the peritoneal cavity‚ in the curve of the duodenum. It is the pancreas that is responsible for aiding the body’s endocrine system. (Darlington College 2011). The pancreas releases two endocrine hormones and it is these hormones that ensure the blood glucose levels within the body are constantly controlled. These hormones are glucagon and insulin and they are secreted from tiny clusters of cells within the pancreas‚ know as the islets of
