pancreas

Translation
pancreas
noun /ˈpæŋkɹɪəs/
A gland near the stomach which secretes a fluid into the duodenum to help with food digestion. The fluid contains protease, carbohydrase and lipase, which breaks down larger molecules into smaller pieces. Pancreas also produces the hormones insulin and glucagon which regulate the blodsugar. These hormons are released into the cardiovascular system. <ref name="VERT-anat">Hviveldyr by Jørgensen, Jørgen M. (Danish author), ISBN 978-87-02-07684-4</ref>
