(TITLE) 1.1. Pancreas The pancreas is a glandular organ in the digestive system located deep in the retroperitoneal cavity in the center of the abdomen (Figure 1). The pancreas is surrounded by vital organs and major blood vessels. The pancreas is a vital organ controller of blood glucose levels and plays a key role in the digestive system. Anatomically, the pancreas is approximately 15 cm long and is separated into four regions: the head, neck, body, and tail (1). The pancreas consists of two major glands. The majority of the pancreas is composed of exocrine cells that produce enzymes to aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine; these enzymes are secreted through pancreatic ducts into the small intestine. The second component is made out of endocrine cells. These endocrine cells release hormones such as insulin and glucagon directly into the blood stream. The pancreas can be one of the most unforgiving organs in the human body. Minor trauma could disrupt these important bodily functions and release digestive enzymes into the

Tumors can develop in the endocrine cells as well as in the exocrine cells. Pancreatic tumors are clinically significant because some have an extremely poor prognosis and some produce serious clinical symptoms (4). The most common and lethal form of pancreatic cancer is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). It originates in the exocrine region of the pancreas. PDA is the fourth leading cause of cancer death, ranking only behind lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer.(4) At the time of diagnosis, 85–90% of patients have inoperable or metastatic disease, which is reflected in the 5-year survival rate of only 6% for all stages combined.(5) Clinically, pancreatic cancer is characterized by its extreme aggressiveness leading to local and distant metastasis as well as a drug resistant
Type one Diabetes develops when the cells that create insulin, the pancreatic beta cells, are destroyed by the body’s immune system. 40,000 people are
Grace is a 78-year-old female who is diagnosed with malignant neoplasm of pancreatic duct (C25.3). Grace was previously treated with surgical resection of the distal pancreatectomy, cholecystectomy, splenectomy, and low anterior resection with colorectal ostomy, gemzar, abraxane, cisplatin, opdivo, abemaciclib, galunisertib, but still experienced disease progression. Pathology demonstrates T2, N1, M1 disease with 9 out of 27 lymph nodes remarkable with metastasis to the colon. Your denial indicates that Zejula is not approved for her diagnosis. Zejula therapy is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor indicated for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal
This book has encouraged me to do what I want to do. I realized that everything is possible, but to being successful I have to work pretty hard. Randy Pausch, the book writer, had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; consequently, he was really concerned about what he were going to do. He had two sons with Jai, his wife. Jai used to encourage him, but when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer he started to think about himself, about what he had been, and about what makes him unique.
Randy Pausch who wrote ‘The Last Lecture’ was born on October 23,1960 he was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He was not only a brilliant teacher but was also a very well known researcher who worked with Adobe, Google, etc. He was one of the best and respected professor, he brought artists, dramatists, designers all together to break new ground by working with computer scientists. He as a professor inspired a lot of students in classroom.
Type two diabetes can cause many issues and problems for the person involved. For example, one can develop kidney disease due to the fact that high levels of blood sugar make the kidneys filter too much blood. Waste products start to build up in the blood and eventually the kidney starts to fail. Secondly, diabetes can also cause amputations and blindness to occur in severe matters. The cause of nerve damage and poor circulation makes the feet and lower legs at risk of amputation.
Exercise 4, Activity 2: Plasma Glucose, Insulin, and Diabetes Mellitus By: Kelsey Clark Anatomy & Physiology II–CL7 Dr. Bruner February 20, 2018 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The endocrine system helps regulate homeostasis by producing and secreting hormones. When talking about Plasma Glucose, Insulin, and Diabetes Mellitus, the endocrine organ that is involved is the pancreas. The pancreas produces Glucagon and Insulin.
Gastroschisis is a birth defect in which an infant 's intestines are outside of the body because of a hole in the abdominal wall (Medline). Gastroschisis is said to be a rupture/ hernia. This birth defect causes the babies intestines to sticks out through a hole in their abdomen. Gastroschisis is closely related to a defect called omphalocele, which the abdominal organ comes out through the belly button and is surrounded by a membrane.
The digestive system is responsible for chemically and mechanically breaking down food and includes organs such as, mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, rectum, anus, and additional accessory organs. These organs all aid in the breakdown of food. Food is broken down mechanically by chewing and churning in the stomach, and chemically by acidic enzymes in the stomach and in the small intestine which receives enzymes from the pancreas that are specifically designed for the breakdown of nutrients. Once the food and nutrients are broken down, the excretory system removes whatever the body decides is waste by filtering blood in the nephrons of the kidneys and turning it into urine which is then collected in the bladder and removed from the body when the bladder is
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (which includes the rectum) and anus.5 Food enters the mouth and passes to the anus through the hollow organs of the GI tract. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system. The digestive system helps the body digest food.

Introduction Gallbladder is an organ in the body and it is part of the biliary system. It is a pear-shaped muscular sac that is located on the ventral surface of the liver and on the right side of the abdomen. Moreover, it has 3 layers; an outer serous peritoneal layer, a middle smooth muscle layer and the last layer is an inner mucosal layer which is connected to the lining of the bile duct. The main function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile which helps the body to break down and digest fats.
The adrenals are known for making the hormone adrenaline but also, they make the corticosteroids which affect your metabolism and sexual function. The pancreas is part of the the digestive system and the endocrine system. It makes the hormones insulin and glucagon. These help ensure you have the right amount of sugar in your bloodstream and your cells. If you don 't make any insulin, which is the case for people with type one diabetes, your blood sugar levels can get dangerously high and if the body makes some insulin but not enough, that is type two diabetes.
The digestive system is located around the stomach area. Along with the digestive system, many other organ systems all work together to create an organism. An example of this would be if a person eats a sandwich and then goes for a run. During the run, the circulatory system helps the body breathe, the muscle system helps the bones move, and all the while the digestive system digests the food. Later on, the excretory system gets rid of the waste, or food that the body can’t use for nourishment.
The nerve supply also comes from her celiac plexus innervating the liver mixture of sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers. These ribs reach the liver by the hepatic artery. Liver Physiology The liver performs many functions in the body such as: • Production of bile: The liver excretes bile to the bile duct and thence to the duodenum. Bile is necessary for digestion of food.
