Answer:The pancreas is an organ located behind the lower part of the stomach, in front of the spine and plays an important part in diabetes.
The pancreas is the organ which produces insulin, one the main hormones that helps to regulate blood glucose levels.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough or any insulin. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body cannot use insulin correctly.
The Role of Glucagon. Glucagon, a peptide hormone secreted by the pancreas, raises blood glucose levels. Its effect is opposite to insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels. When it reaches the liver, glucagon stimulates glycolysis, the breakdown of glycogen, and the export of glucose into the circulation.
