Function (Pancreas) :
==================
Pancreas is a organ located in the upper abdomen and adjacent to the small intestine. It performs two main kind of functions in the body:
1) Exocrine function: It helps in the digestion of food. It produces various enzymes such as amylase, lipase and trypsin which helps to digest carbohydrate, fats and proteins respectively.
2) Endocrine function: It produces hormonal insulin and glucagon which regulate the level of sugar present in the blood.

hello dude
The small intestine has millions of tiny finger-like projections called villi. These villi increase the surface area
Functions of the Pancreas
A healthy pancreas produces the correct chemicals in the proper quantities, at the right times, to digest the foods we eat.
Exocrine Function:he pancreas contains exocrine glands that produce enzymes important to digestion. These enzymes include trypsin and chymotrypsin to digest proteins; amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates; and lipase to break down fats.
Endocrine Function:The endocrine component of the pancreas consists of islet cells (islets of Langerhans) that create and release important hormones directly into the bloodstream. Two of the main pancreatic hormones are insulin, which acts to lower blood sugar, and glucagon, which acts to raise blood sugar. Maintaining proper blood sugar levels is crucial to the functioning of key organs including the brain, liver, and kidneys.
